I changed the file src/config/Config.lb like this:

-----------------------------------------------------------
makerule coreboot
	depends	"crt0.o $(INIT-OBJECTS) $(COREBOOT_APC) $(COREBOOT_RAM_ROM) 
ldscript.ld"
	action	"$(CC) $(DISTRO_LFLAGS) -nostdlib -nostartfiles -static 
--oformat elf32-i386 -o $@ -T ldscript.ld crt0.o $(INIT-OBJECTS)"
	action	"$(CROSS_COMPILE)nm -n coreboot | sort > coreboot.map"
end
-----------------------------------------------------------

The file targets/amd/db800/db800/fallback/Makefile is generated accordingly:

-----------------------------------------------------------
coreboot: crt0.o $(INIT-OBJECTS) $(COREBOOT_APC) $(COREBOOT_RAM_ROM) 
ldscript.ld
	$(CC) $(DISTRO_LFLAGS) -nostdlib -nostartfiles -static --oformat 
elf32-i386 -o $@ -T ldscript.ld crt0.o $(INIT-OBJECTS)
	$(CROSS_COMPILE)nm -n coreboot | sort > coreboot.map
-----------------------------------------------------------

but linker still does not like it :(
