This email is to report a problem building u-boot 2011.12 with a gcc 4.3.2 toolchain. I've added support locally for a marvell 78xx0 based board. It's using arm926ejs and I have not modified the *.lds linker script.
Case 1: With gcc 4.3.2 provided by marvell, the build fails with this error:
...
I can provide u-boot.map files (~70k) for each case.
Thanks, but what should we do about that? You are referring to code that is unknown to us, and to a tool chain we have no access to.
It would probably be best to report this to the Marvell compiler team.
Possibly nothing -- I'm reporting it because there have been other mailing list thread with the same error message, sometimes without a clear resolution:
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2012-February/117009.html http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2010-November/082122.html
I don't know enough about the linker or *.map file to understand the root cause of the error message. I can only report my observations and suggest that if somebody else hits the same problem they should try using a newer toolchain. In my case it fixed the problem.
I don't need anybody to take any action on this, so feel free to disregard if this report is not interesting. I have no support through Marvell but I thought it was appropriate to share my results with this mailing list.
