This addresses the problem described here:

This changes the link scripts of several of the mpcXXX CPUs to include everything from '.rodata'. Without this, using a recent powerpc-linux-gnu toolchain (e.g. from CodeSourcery) to build U-Boot fails, often producing a multi-GB binary file.

Do I need to make one for 83xx and apply it myself?
