Hello,
I'm currently upgrading a custom PPCBoot 1.1.5 port to U-Boot 1.0.0 for a custom 405GP-based board. At the same time, I thought it would be a good idea to upgrade my development system to SuSE 9.0 and tool chain to ELDK 3.0.
When I build U-Boot I get the following error when zlib.c is being compiled:
ppc_4xx-gcc -g -Os -mrelocatable -ffixed-r14 -meabi -D__KERNEL__ -DTEXT_BASE= 0xFFF80000 -I/home/ejf/u-boot/include -fno-builtin -ffreestanding -nostdinc -isy stem /home/ejf/eldk/usr/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/ppc-linux/3.2.2/include -pipe -DCONF IG_PPC -D__powerpc__ -DCONFIG_4xx -ffixed-r2 -ffixed-r29 -mstring -Wa,-m405 -mcp u=405 -msoft-float -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -c -o zlib.o zlib.c {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:4998: Error: Relocation cannot be done when using -mrelocatable
Wolfgang posted a couple days ago that you can't build the latest U-Boot with old gcc tools. Perhaps you're not really using the latest compiler when you rebuild U-Boot? I see you have the latest toolchain, so make sure that your PATH is set up to actually use those new tools and U-Boot will build fine.
