I'm new to u-boot and have some problem to compile it for the amcc sequoia board. Here is the error that shows up:

powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: section .bootpg [00000000fffff000 -> 00000000fffff27b] overlaps section .bss [00000000fffe1600 -> 00000001000322ff]

... you are using a 64 bit toolchain.

Any ideas? Would be very greatful for some help

This is a known problem. The current linker sript logic silently assumes that address space will silently wrap around at the 32 bit boundary. Not so when you use 64 bit tools. I don't think I have seen a patch for this yet.
