This doesn't look like a toolchain issue.  In any case, we recommend to 
use GCC for both compilation and linking.  Note, you can still pass 
specific options to the linker using -Wl prefix.  E.g., to link a.o and 
b.o into prog using 8192 stack size one can use:
m68k-uclinux-gcc -o prog -Wl,-elf2flt="-s 8192" a.o b.o
