The cause of a 2^32 file can be that gcc has been upgraded and is generating new section names that are not covered in our ldscripts. I fixed this problem recently in another context. The new sections will get linked at address 0.
I think your accidental 0 idea is correct. Can you do a readelf on the various coreboot files and look for a section name that is not in the ldscripts?

Actually, I solved this by just making the BIOS a little bigger. Myles was right to be suspicious of the missing text sections as they were getting chopped off due to the BIOS not fitting in the space I alloted it in the Config.ld script. I just upped it from like 48k to 64k and it linked just fine. Thanks for your help though Ron!
Take care,
