http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=9fd67b4ed0714ab718f1f9bd14c344af336a6df7

The segment overlap error is correct and I'll fix it in the linker script.  The
dot error looks like a bug.

This construct in SECTIONS is the problem, I think:

.vsyscall {
 *(.vsyscall_0)

 . = 1024;
 *(.vsyscall_1)
}

AFAICT the bfd linker thinks that assignments to . inside a section are
section-relative but gold thinks they're absolute.  The documentation reference
is escaping me at the moment.
