This is not an OMAP specific problem.
This problem will happen on all ARM platforms.

It would be better to understand why these unwind calls are being made and
to just not do them.

As this is an eabi problem.
Adding

void *__exidx_start;
void *__exidx_end;

To eabi_compat.c also "fixes" the link problem.
This may be a better place for the change than all the linker scripts

In general cases where libgcc is problem, you can build with

USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC=yes

Trying this unfortunately has another link problem

fs/yaffs2/libyaffs2.a(yaffscfg.o): In function `yaffs_StartUp':
	fs/yaffs2/yaffscfg.c:185: undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod'

This function could be added to lib_arm/_udivsi3.S or a new file if you
feel it is appropriate.
