>Description:
Compiling IXDP425 kernel (current sources) with the IxNpeMicrocode.dat from 
Intel to enable onboard nics I get an error. This does not happen on 5.0.2
My command:
/build.sh -u -m evbarm -a armeb -O /usr/arm/obj-arm/ -T /usr/arm/tools-arm/ 

Result:

Build directory is /usr/arm/obj-arm/sys/arch/evbarm/compile/IXDP425
Don't forget to run "make depend"
depending the kern library objects
depending the compat library objects
making sure the compat library is up to date...
`libcompat.a' is up to date.
making sure the kern library is up to date...
`libkern.o' is up to date.
rm -f /usr/arm/obj-arm/sys/arch/evbarm/compile/IXDP425/IxNpeMicrocode.dat
ln -s /usr/src/sys/arch/arm/xscale/IxNpeMicrocode.dat 
/usr/arm/obj-arm/sys/arch/evbarm/compile/IXDP425Y
/usr/arm/tools-arm/bin/armeb--netbsdelf-ld -b binary -d -warn-common -r -d -o 
ixp425_fw.o IxNpeMicrocode.dat
/usr/arm/tools-arm/bin/armeb--netbsdelf-ld: BFD (NetBSD Binutils nb1) 2.19.1 
internal error, aborting at

/usr/arm/tools-arm/bin/armeb--netbsdelf-ld: Please report this bug. 
>How-To-Repeat:
Download the Intel's NPE Microcode v2.4 - without crypto from:
http://www.intel.com/design/network/products/npfamily/download_ixp400.htm

Extract the microcode. cd ixp400_xscale_sw/src/npeDl
In this directory, create a file called IxNpeMicrocode.h, and populate it with 
the following two #defines:
#define IX_NPEDL_NPEIMAGE_NPEB_ETH
#define IX_NPEDL_NPEIMAGE_NPEC_ETH

Compile the code and create a dat fike:   cc ixNpeDlImageConverter.c -o foo : 
./foo
Now copy "IxNpeMicrocode.dat" to the sys/arch/arm/xscale directory in your 
NetBSD source tree.

Build kernel 
./build.sh -u -m evbarm -a armeb -O /usr/obj-arm/ -T /usr/tools-arm/ 
kernel=IXDP425
