Commit f4dc714aaa2d ("arm64: Turn u-boot.bin back into an ELF file after relocate-rela") introduce REMAKE_ELF option to recreate u-boot.elf from u-boot -> u-boot.bin + DT -> u-boot.elf.
The best is to ilustrate it from make V=1 output cat u-boot-nodtb.bin dts/dt.dtb > u-boot-dtb.bin cp u-boot-dtb.bin u-boot.bin aarch64-linux-gnu-objcopy -I binary -B aarch64 -O elf64-littleaarch64 u-boot.bin u-boot-elf.o aarch64-linux-gnu-ld.bfd u-boot-elf.o -o u-boot.elf --defsym="_start"=0x8000000 -Ttext=0x8000000
Last command has no explicit linker script passed that's why toolchain internal linker script is used. In Binutils 2.32 case it contains SIZEOF_HEADERS symbol which has changed behavior by commit https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=64029e93683a266c38... which result in situation that program headers has changed from (xilinx_zynqmp_mini_defconfig)

Xilinx tools like XSDB or Bootgen are using program headers for loading ELF to the right location and by above binutils change ELF is loaded to incorrect location.
The patch is explicitly use u-boot-elf.lds (just cat now) for u-boot.elf recreation which is called when REMAKE_ELF is setup. By purpose u-boot-elf.lds doesn't contain OUTPUT_FORMAT/OUTPUT_ARCH to be able to use by all archs.

Changes in v2: - Use preprocessor and Kconfig entry for passing different PLATFORM_ENTRY Suggested-by: Daniel Schwierzeck daniel.schwierzeck@gmail.com - I kept u-boot.elf.lds in origin location because most of lds are in arch/ folder
Changes in v1: - Compare to RFC - MIPS has different elf entry point that's why I replaced simple cat with sed to setup proper entry point
Sadanand, Mahesh: Please correct my description if I am wrong based on our internal discussion about this issue.
Tom: I have been told that it is GCC issue but I found that commit in binutils. I am not doing these makefile stuff that's why I expect this should be changed a little bit. Also arch/u-boot-elf.lds is likely incorrect location but didn't find any better.
