Wolfgang, is there any reason why standalone apps are linked without LDFLAGS (especially PLATFORM_LDFLAGS)?
None that I know, at least.
In general, standalone applications are a rarely used special feature, and the few people who actually ever used this for a purpose probably used custom code and custom linker scripts, so the mainline code is eventually not that good supproted.
This patch fixes a general issue with standalone apps on archs supporting both endianess types when running MAKEALL. I guess this could be relevant for ARM too if U-Boot has support for big-endian ARM boards.
It does, but I doubt anybody ever used standalone applications on these.
Best regards,
