Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] Add LDFLAGS-u-boot variable and move some linker option to this

Dear Nobuhiro Iwamatsu,

In message 1293433224-17341-1-git-send-email-iwamatsu@nigauri.org you wrote:

This move linker option used by the last of u-boot in LDFLAGS_u-boot variable. And the option to use in ld uses LDFLAGS variable.

Can you please explain why this would be needed?

-LDFLAGS += --gc-sections -m elf32bfin +LDFLAGS_u-boot += --gc-sections

The name "LDFLAGS_u-boot" may actually work here, but iut is inconsistent with other such variables names, and using '-' in a name is probably not a good idea either.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
