Looking at past posts, it looks like the sc520 port is in bad shape. I tried 
compiling sc520_spunk and sc520_cdp and they are missing so many files and have 
some so many linker problems (due to missing files and broken linker script) It 
looks like some PCI stuff must have disappeared along the way somewhere too ...

I removed the --gap-fill=0xff and I was able to create an srec file. I think 
objcopy was spending all its time filling in 0xff ... I don't know if it works 
yet, but at least I was able to complete a make.

Perhaps the sc520_xxxx ports should be marked as "incomplete" or "broken"?
