When I run the first line, It worked for a few minutes and produced an srec file of about 2 gigabytes length. (It might be bigger but stopped with an out of space error.) (ppc_82xx-objcopy --gap-fill=0xff -O srec u-boot u-boot.srec)
The binutils have some serious problems; it is not too difficult to send them into infinite loops crerating infinite output images.
But I think, as Wolfgang mentioned, the problem is that; I ignored or frankly speaking didn't recognized -msoft-float option given to gcc. since -msoft-float is used, floating point instructions are not compiled as expected by gcc. (an example "%f" in printf is printed onto console as exactly "%f" :-) )
Now this has a much simpler reason: we don;t support FP in U-Boot at all, so it is missing completely from the printf() implementation, too. This has nothing to do with the -msoft-float flag being used or not.
