Or not broken, but having

.bss : 
{
  ...
  __SDA_BASE__ = <some-appropriate-value>
  * (.sbss)
 
  ...
}

  The ONLY thing that needs fixing is to make sure the variable is
sufficiently close to __SDA_BASE__ or __SDA2_BASE__ (+- 32K, IIRC),
r13 is set to __SDA_BASE__ and then delete the bogus errors from the
bfd (or turn them to warnings).
