AFAIK the "standard Startup File" uVision copies into the project uses
RealView-assembler instructions which are not compatible with the GNU
assembler.

Since the startupcode is make for RV-assembler not for GNU assembler.
Take a look into the manuals that come with RV-MDK and search the net
for the GNU-as manual.

Maybe the c-code uses RV extenstions. Or options or include-pathes are
are not set correctly. Difficult to help without additional information.

Looks like this.

Port the one for RV to GNU or use one that is created for GNU-assembler.

uVision offers some options in a dialog to control linking but I have
never tested if these options will be enough to get the
default-linker-script working.  So far I have just tested with external
linker-scripts. The Keil evaluation version (at least an older version
if have tried) comes with some linker-scripts for gnu arm-elf-ld which
can be used as templates.

Keil.com offers an appnote on how to use Codesourcery G++ (wich is also
a package of prebuild GNU tools, free in the lite version) with uVision.
I have not tried it but there is a zip-file with an example-project.
