I couldn't reproduce the compilation errors, it builds fine for me until
the link phase.

But this I *can* reproduce.  It appears qemu wants to set the text
segment start address, using the -Ttext-segment=0x60000000 option to ld.

However, our base ld does not yet support this option, and then the
configure script tries to patch the default linker script using the
following construct:

      $ld --verbose | sed \
        -e '1,/==================================================/d' \
        -e '/==================================================/,$d' \
        -e "s/[.] = [0-9a-fx]* [+] SIZEOF_HEADERS/. = $textseg_addr + SIZEOF_HEADERS/" \
        -e "s/__executable_start = [0-9a-fx]*/__executable_start = $textseg_addr/" > config-host.ld

Unfortunately, it seems to run /usr/local/bin/ld in this case, and this
results in the following busted linker script line, which cannot be
parsed:

  PROVIDE (__executable_start = 0x60000000SEGMENT_START("text-segment", 0x08048000)); . = SEGMENT_START("text-segment", 0x08048000) + SIZEOF_HEADERS;

If it would use /usr/bin/ld instead, the patching would succeed, and
the line would become:

  PROVIDE (__executable_start = 0x60000000); . = 0x60000000 + SIZEOF_HEADERS;

which is probably what was intended.

Probably, the configure script needs to be patched to run base ld,
or use the same ld invocation for both checking the -Ttext-segment
option support and patching the linker script.
