0x8000 is nonexistent on the EB40 after the remap command. The header above 
says that your image is being loaded at address 0x8000 with a _virtual_ 
address of 0x2000000. Check your linker script.

If you're ROMming the code, the load offset should be 0, if RAM then it 
should be 0x02000000.

"... a man who is endowed with real qualities of leadership will be tempted 
to refrain from taking part in political life; because [...] the situation 
does not call for a man who has a capacity for constructive statesmanship 
but rather for a man who is capable of bargaining for the favour of the 
majority. Thus the situation will appeal to small minds and will attract 
them accordingly."
