Fix In Release: C6000_8.3.0
 C6000_8.2.3
 ARM_16.9.7.LTS
Workaround: None. If the linker command file wants to be that specific about memory ranges, then the work has to be done, and the option to disable the work has its own bug.
Release Notes: Linking may take excessively long when the linker command file specifically places a lot of variables at specific addresses, especially for C2000. The original report was placing more than 300 variables. The --no_placement_optimization option is not a workaround because it causes a linker crash. Both problems are fixed together.
