Dear Daniel Schwierzeck,
Hi Albert,
2013/2/2 Albert ARIBAUD albert.u.boot@aribaud.net:
Refactor linker-generated array code so that symbols which were previously linker-generated are now compiler- generated. This causes relocation records of type R_ARM_ABS32 to become R_ARM_RELATIVE, which makes code which uses LGA able to run before relocation as well as after.
Note: this affects more than ARM targets, as linker- lists span possibly all target architectures, notably PowerPC.

for the MIPS part: Tested-by: Daniel Schwierzeck daniel.schwierzeck@gmail.com
BTW: if we use
.u_boot_list : { KEEP(*(SORT(.u_boot_list*))) }
we can get rid of the undef magic in the final link of u-boot
UUuuuu, that's amazing. We're shifting from one kind of black magic onto another voodoo. But certainly, this KEEP() is much cleaner, I like it :)
Best regards, Marek Vasut
