Wolfgang, should I send out a (single) mail to each ARM board maintainer right after this cycle asking them to either fix their board or say that they are not going to? This could help weed out during next cycle.
We might as well do this right now. I will try to get -rc2 out this weekend, and also start a "next" branch. Maybe some board maintainers need a special invitation to fix their boards - eventually some will submit patches even for this release. It's worth a try.
Thanks.

No problem. I am building a list of addresses from the MAINTAINERS list. For those boards which have no maintainer I will use the e-mail address of the last committer to the config header file (skipping Wolfgang's, of course).
I will then send a single mail to myself with everybody in Bcc:, telling them that they are e-mailed as the maintainer or last committer to an u-boot board, informing them of the recent introduction of ELF relocation to u-boot, that it breaks building the board, and that they should take steps to fix the board (these steps may be as simple as adding a couple of lines similar to what was done with edminiv2.h) otherwise the board will be considered orphan and risk being removed.
Amicalement,
