I googled around and saw (perhaps unrelated) that in some cases, the
symbol `__bss_end__' may not be defined. So, in /arch/powerpc/mpc83xx/Start.s and arch/powerpc/lib/board.c, I manually changed `__bss_end__' to `_end'. However, I now get the following error:
arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.o:(.got2+0x8): undefined reference to
`_end'
arch/powerpc/lib/libpowerpc.o:(.got2+0x54): undefined reference to
`_end'
So, my question is, is my problem a basic definition of these
symbols, and if so, how to define `__bss_end__' or '_end'? (and where is the best place to put the definition)?
Well, _bss_end__ should be defined in the link script - which might be arch/powerpc/cpu/*/u-boot.lds. But if you have a special link script for your board then you might need to adjust it. In some places this symbol is called __bss_end.
But _end is a different symbol, so you shouldn't change one into the other.

Hi Simon. Thanks -it worked! It looks like in arch/powerpc/cpu/*/u-boot.lds, "__bss_end__ = . ;" got removed along the way. I put it back in, and it built fine.
OK, pleased to hear it!
Regards, Simon
