Looks like the problem which I found long time ago in binutils but have no time to fix. What I discovered is that if you request link map (-Map) and the linker command file (u-boot.lds) contains conditional statement (in u-boot it's usually DEFINED(env_offset) ? env_offset : .) then the linker crashes. I don't know if Sandpoint needs this statement, maybe it can be removed, otherwise remove -Map.
