You didn't tell what host you are compiling this on, but given the path to your ld it appears that you are cross-compiling. If so, your host is likely not xscale-elf (but probably i686-linux-gnu or some such).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
