When I look at u-boot.lds (in the main directory), it shows the incorrect path to start.o. u-boot.lds is generated through the make all process. When I manually fix the start.o pathname in u-boot.lds, everything builds fine. My question is where and how is u-boot.lds generated? I see where there is also a u-boot.lds in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/, with an explicit path to start.o, but this file seems to not do anything (I can modify the file or delete this specific u-boot.lds, and nothing happens -a new one is not created).
the top level u-boot.lds lacks a depend on the files that create it (known bug). so you manually have to `rm` it in order for a new one to be generated. most likely the cpu subdir u-boot.lds is what is broken & needs fixing. -mike
