Yes, but the dependencies don't always work for this. Delete
install/lib/vectors.o and recompile.

What how fast are you clocking your device? 

// Macro to initialise the Memory Controller
        .macro _flash_init
__flash_init__:
#if CYGNUM_HAL_ARM_AT91_CLOCK_SPEED > 30000000
        // When the clock is running faster than 30MHz we need a wait state
        ldr     r0,=AT91_MC
        ldr     r1,=(AT91_MC_FMR_1FWS)
        str     r1,[r0,#AT91_MC_FMR]
#endif
#if CYGNUM_HAL_ARM_AT91_CLOCK_SPEED > 60000000
        ldr     r1,=(AT91_MC_FMR_2FWS)
        str     r1,[r0,#AT91_MC_FMR]
#endif
        .endm
