Did these include more recent versions? GCC 4.3.x is not exactly what I can recommend for ARM systems...
Well, the newest one I've tried was arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc (Gentoo 4.4.4-r1 p1.1, pie-0.4.5) 4.4.4. But I found it broken since it messed up relocation-related sections for some reason. What compiler you think I should try?
Text_base: 0x00100010
Is there a special reason for chosing such an odd address?
Why don't you use 0x00100000 ?
Our SoC's bootloader expects this strange address. It is hardcoded into chip and can't be changed :(
We don't know your code, nor your linker script, nor your link command.
We don't even know which version of U-Boot you are talking about.
Thus we cannot even guess what you might be doing.
O, sorry. I branched out from commit # 227b7251554 and tried to stay default as much as possible. So I am using cpu/arm1176's default u-boot.lds and start.S
