Re: [U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] Make MPC83xx one step closer to full relocation.

There is no guarantee that this is the same as the start address of .text

I am no link script expert, but I cannot see why that would not be the start of the .text segment?

There might be other segments at the start of the image...

See for example cpu/mpc8xx/start.S - while at the moment we really start with .text, it would technically be more approrpriate to change the first 256 bytes (from monitor base to EXC_OFF_SYS_RESET) into .rodata or something like this.

Anyhow, we can go with the other solution instead, define the symbol in start.S instead, if one is needed.

If it cannot be avoided ;-)
