CONFIG_RELOCATABLE on powerpc means something different. On arm we start U-Boot by running it at an address != link address and _copy_ (not relocate) ourselves to the address we are linked at. On powerpc real relocation is done if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled. Hence the option you wanted to add should better have the name CONFIG_SKIP_COPY_TO_SDRAM or something like that.
This is something that I always wanted to fix. The ARM implementation is broken by design - unfortunately it has been also used for MIPS, and other architectures. It would be much better if we had real relocation to a (dynamically determined) address on ARM too, instead of such a fixed mapping.
