Why do we need this? GCC 3.3.3 (DENX ELDK 3.1 3.3.3-8) compiles the same code without problems. Where are the string instructions coming from?
Well, technically, we really shouldn't _need_ to do this. It's really being done as a safety issue. Well, that and I'm going to use the "Also, 85xx Linux does this too." defense. :-)
I don't recall if Junita Ajith indicated what compiler he(?) used, but ELDK-3.1 was mentioned with a claim that it was needed for his build.
