I have tried but was unable to build a toolchain for my sh3 target with
a newer version of binutils because of different build errors.
I am no longer working on this project so I have no time left for fixing
these problems. 
When someone else is continuing my work here he will have to use linker
version 2.16.1 and the above descriped workaround.

Thanks,
Torsten
