Linking issue with ld.bfd 2.28.0.20170307

[Holger Freyther]

Hi,

I am rebuilding the bootloader with gcc6 and the above version
of binutils and it is failing to link with .bfd but is working
with .gold.

Is this known? Is anyone else seeing this issue? And no I did
not try linking with -N and I have no idea what ld thinks is
the program headers here.

cheers
