It does not find your payload image. 

try using an absolute path in your target configuration file


You said you are using gcc 3.3 in suse 10. Did you install this compiler
yourself? I use the same distribution, but I have gcc 4 installed.

It builds fine here, see build log
http://snapshots.linuxbios.org/stats/abuild-LinuxBIOSv2-2163.log

Your gcc might make things larger than gcc 4 which is why you saw the
overlap error. increasing ROM_IMAGE_SIZE(?) should help without changing
the LD script.

Also I am pretty sure you get your image compiling when you fix your
payload path above..
