Actually that's not exact. If you do a ./MAKEALL omap3_evm, yes, the 
build will fail. But (with 2010q1 at least, but I d'wager this works 
with 2009q3 as well) a 'make distclean; make omap3_evm_config; make' 
builds despite the linker message.

Can you try this as a diagnostic measure?

Also, you may want to try adding --no-check-sections to the linker flags 
-- again as a diagnostic measure only, not as a fix -- because a quick 
test shows me that the .bin is really different then.

Amicalement,
