Dear Joakim Tjernlund,

It seems this change increases the code size somehow - which I would not expect from your comment above. Please have a look.
Very strange, I had a quick look(that is all I can do ATM). It appers that 8xx is the only ppc arch which doesn't have its own u-boot.lds under arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx, is that intentional? Is it only 8xx that has this problem?
I did not look closer, but it appears that these boards are all boards that use an embedded environment, and thus their own, usually manually tuned linker script.
My guess would be that 8xx missed out on an earlier patch http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commitdiff;h=337f5f50f539cc1ea1e0533c096e...
Or, more correctly, that this patch failed to patch these boards.
Can you please provide a fix? I'd like to get rid of this build error ASAP. We could, of course, simply revert these commits.
Grepping shows a boat load of u-boot.lds files under board. I don't have time to patch them all ATM. They really needs to be consolidated somehow but that is over my head.
