The sections described in the sandbox linker script are inserted before data section via "INSERT BEFORE .data;". Running readelf -S on sandbox u-boot binary shows that the bss section is located after the data section:

This means that the __bss_start assignment in the linker script is bogus, as the actual bss section start is located elsewhere. Remove this assignment, as the __bss_start symbol is not used on sandbox anyway.
