It probably means that the latest GCC and/or assembler emit code that
ld-elf.exe doesn't support.  Since the current Binutils version is
2.10, it's quite possible that 2.9-based linker could fail.

You could try using the -mno-bnu210 switch to the compiler (i.e., add
it to CFLAGS), perhaps it will help (assuming your GCC is 2.95.3).
