I had exactly the same behaviour some time ago and tracked it down to this (and posted it on the mailing list, but sadly got no feedback):
Thanks a lot for this pointer.
So there a three things to notice:
- Do not use gcc 4.8 and u-boot at the moment.
- You might not notice that you have a problem until you erase u-boot
from flash (and get your cache flushed). 3. Handling relro properly should be on the TODO-List
I confirm that the problem is in my case with gcc 4.8.1, too. I did not try another compiler yet.
Maybe this is already common knowledge an maybe somebody is already working on this - but I did not notice yet. So in this case: sorry for the noise :)
I highly appreciate your hint, it was definitely very useful. Thanks!
Is this ARM or PowerPC? The kernel has blacklisted 4.8.x for ARM in some cases, and this may or may not be related (see https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58854)
