Therefore I strongly suggest that all extras (PIC) needed solely for relocation should be switchable OFF by a configuration option. Who does need that relocation in the first place? For years ARM did work without it; why now blowing up the code?
Sorry, to be precise: the option CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC should stay as a permanent feature.
However, when I compile with that option defined in my board-config.h I get the following warnings for EVERY file:
/home/reinhard/embedded/u-boot/include/configs/top9000_9xe.h:74:1: warning: "CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC" redefined <command-line>: warning: this is the location of the previous definition In file included from /home/reinhard/embedded/u-boot/include/config.h:4, from /home/reinhard/embedded/u-boot/include/common.h:37, from stmicro.c:30:
because of that recursion: +ifdef CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC +PLATFORM_CPPFLAGS += -DCONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC +endif
The code size changes from 223592 to 229792 which is more acceptable, but I still does crash (I will look into that soon).
