Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] common: Link with GCC instead of LD

31 Oct 2012


      Dear Andreas Bießmann,
[...]
...

-# Always use GNU ld
-LD	= $(shell if $(CROSS_COMPILE)ld.bfd -v > /dev/null 2>&1; \

then echo "$(CROSS_COMPILE)ld.bfd"; else echo 


"$(CROSS_COMPILE)ld";
...
...
fi;) +# Link with GCC
+LD	= $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc
with this change we should also remove LD_VERSION_STRING from
$(VERSION_FILE). Currently it will call 'gcc -v' which will print
compile switches to stderr.
Compiled and runtime tested on avr32 atngw100mkii, on first sight it
seems sane.
Good catch. I added it to u-boot-testing/dm-gcclink branch already, but will 
repost after I get a bit more feedback.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Marek Vasut
