Re: [U-Boot-Users] _gp in current u-boot.lds for MIPS ports

Dear Wolfgang,

I'm afraid I don't remember this any more. The code is as old as the very first MIPS port for the Infineon INCA-IP board, back in March 2003. It is easily possible that we didn't know any better by then, and everybody just copied the code without thinking since.

Thanks for your kind information. I see what you mean.

Speaking for myself, I'm not much of a MIPS expert and will rely on your judgment. All I can do is helping to test changes on the INCA-IP board.

I'll submit patches later. If you have some spare time, give it a try. Unfortunately I don't have any targets maintained in upstream, that'll be very helpful.

thanks,

Shinya
