This part of the LDFLAGS variable definition (which holds the  linker
options) comes from the config.mk file:

LDFLAGS += -Bstatic -T $(LDSCRIPT) -Ttext $(TEXT_BASE) $(PLATFORM_LDFLAGS)

As you can see, the "-Ttext" argument should be followed by the  base
address  of  your  text  segment,  which gets defined in your board's
config.mk file; obviously you missed  to  define  TEXT_BASE  in  your
board/<whatever>/config.mk file.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
