Dear Joakim Tjernlund,

If in doubt, use ELDK. All examples were compiled with ELDK 4.2 (GCC 4.2.2) for ppc_8xx.
Have you tried gcc 4.3.x yet?
No, and from the list of bugs I have seen for it (especially for ARM) I will not invest time and efforts on it.
I think the mistake was to include the use of -fno-jump-tables in that patch too. The -msingle-pic-base part should be a NOP to all gcc's that don't have it.
Maybe.
I still don't know why it broke with your gcc but I suspect it is due to -fno-jump-tables(which is in the msingle-pic-base patch). Seems like that option in your case makes the code bigger.
Indeed. As I cannot see any advantages, I reject this stuff, at least for now.
Indeed? Does that mean you confirmed that -fno-jump-tables was the cause? I can respin the patch without that part if so.
The "indeed" refers to the "in my case your patches make the code bigger". I cannot confirm anything else as I haven't tested it.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
