Dear Joakim Tjernlund,

It seems discussion stopped here. Is it correct forme to assume that there is no patch available yet that is considered ripe to be added (to the "reloc" branch) ?
That is correct. Some boards(85xx) seem to have bss_start at 0 sometimes and that won't play nice with this patch. Peter was looking into this but seems like he isn't finished yet.
Also, I have been looking at moving this relocation to C-code and it isn't quite ready yet. What is left is to modify all ppc boards to use this new C-code
So how should we proceed? My plan was to merge the "reloc" branch by the end of next week. Is this still realistic?
Yes, my work is not required. Actually the current u-boot also suffers from this defect. I am only trying to future prof the relocation. Some day we might want to do: if (weak_fun) weak_fun(); but today nobody is using this in u-boot.
