   This is from "trap.S", -- assembler code which happens to use
   .section.  This is not a compiler issue.

Whoops, sorry.

You're right, it looks like an assembler related problem, and Jeff's
earlier answer was quite correct: the a.out assembler does not support
the .section pseudo-op.

Since it looks like you're compiling a file from newlib, I'd say that
newlib hasn't been ported to arm-aout.  Since the line in question is
just
    .section .text
you can replace it with just
    .text
which should work for any target.

There may of course be other problems.
