You use Borland's make? I suggest to use a GNU make.

If you do not need to, try to avoid linking directly with arm-elf-ld.
Use the frontend (arm-elf-gcc) instead.
Are you sure you have run this build with successfully before?

So you are using gnuarm (package from gnuarm.org)? Since you work on a
Win32-box try to use another package with newer versions of the tools
(i.e. Yagarto, Codesourcery G++ (lite), DevkitARM...).

Did you verify that crt.o is available (compiled from crt.c?). Send the
complete output of the build-process, not just the few lines.

Rater old. Binutils 2.18 (which include the linker) are the latest
stable release now.
