CCS/LM3S5739: Linker error

Part Number: LM3S5739

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I am working on maintaining an obsolete MCU project. The actual part number is LM3S5B91.

It was developed using Code Red IDE. The project was edited and compiled in Feb 2019. Since

then the machine that has code red was converted to a VM. 

I need to edit the project again now. I am unable to build it without errors.

Building target: TFAFirmware.axf
Invoking: MCU Linker

Any pointers on what to do with this error?

Thank you,
