I just uploaded the revised patch here:
http://www.denx.de/wiki/pub/U-Boot/TooBigPatches/0001-Switch-from-archive-li...
Version 4: Bring in Linux comment for cmd_link_o_target. Fix drivers/qe/Makefile to build libqe.o, not qe.o.
I pulled the latest changes before making the patch and there was no conflict, but please let me know if you see anything wrong with it.
Thanks a lot.
I notice that the patch affects the size of the resulting U-Boot images.
For example:
Configuring for MiniFAP - Board: TQM5200, Options: MINIFAP text data bss dec hex filename 358144 35208 303248 696600 aa118 ./u-boot before 361340 35824 303332 700496 ab050 ./u-boot after ------------------------------- Delta: +3896 Bytes
For other boards it's only a few hundred bytes, but why do we see such big increase here?
MPC8xx boards break with long lists of multiple definitions of symbols, like that:
Configuring for FPS860L board... lib/libgeneric.o: In function `vsprintf': /home/wd/git/u-boot/work/lib/vsprintf.c:480: multiple definition of `vsprintf' lib/vsprintf.o:/home/wd/git/u-boot/work/lib/vsprintf.c:480: first defined here lib/libgeneric.o: In function `ustrtoul': /home/wd/git/u-boot/work/lib/vsprintf.c:74: multiple definition of `ustrtoul' lib/vsprintf.o:/home/wd/git/u-boot/work/lib/vsprintf.c:74: first defined here lib/libgeneric.o: In function `simple_strtol': /home/wd/git/u-boot/work/lib/vsprintf.c:67: multiple definition of `simple_strtol' lib/vsprintf.o:/home/wd/git/u-boot/work/lib/vsprintf.c:67: first defined here lib/libgeneric.o: In function `inflate': /home/wd/git/u-boot/work/lib/zlib.c:1385: multiple definition of `inflate' lib/zlib.o:/home/wd/git/u-boot/work/lib/zlib.c:1385: first defined here lib/libgeneric.o: In function `inflate_fast': /home/wd/git/u-boot/work/lib/zlib.c:448: multiple definition of `inflate_fast' lib/zlib.o:/home/wd/git/u-boot/work/lib/zlib.c:448: first defined here ...
Have you seen that, too?
