Oops - I had too many dashes, sorry about that.

Well, it does fix the assembler problem you had.  Now you have a linker/
source file problem.

Well the linker error messages seems pretty clear.  My guess would be
that _rtbootld.o and door.o come from assembler source files, or else 
C/C++ source files containing inline assembler directives, and that
they are creating special sections of their own.  Can you modify the
sources files ?  If so you could use "objdump -r pics/<object file>"
to find out which sections have these problematic relocations, and
then you could edit the sources to add the writeable attribute to the
section declarations.
