It won't work for people that don't set up their lds properly.
current u-boot policy is to not introduce changes that knowingly break other platforms. so if you want to update the common arm config.mk, you need to at least compile test all arm boards.
Doesn't that makes it an impossible task? Not having all the boards makes it pretty hard to test them all.
+PLATFORM_RELFLAGS += -ffunction-sections
where's the -fdata-sections ?
I tried that once before and could not get that to work with u-boot. I figure doing just the function sections is better than nothing.
so even your lds isn't setup properly ? :P
Correct. I was aiming to achieve a certain size. Once I achieved that I stopped fiddling. The problem was probably in the relocation stuff.
other arches are using both fine, so it isn't a problem of common code.
I might be incorrect, but I have noticed what appears to be some differences between different versions of binutils.
