That was what I expected.

Nothing important. that option causes the linker to  print  a  linker
map to file "u-boot.map". Normally nobody ever cares about this file,
except when you are trying to find out where memory is being spent or
how to layout your linker script to optimize flash usage.

File a bug report to the binutils folks. It must never dump core,  no
matter which options are given (and especially not on valid options).

Best regards,

It's hard to make a program foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
