[U-Boot] TQM860L_config: u-boot.lds:76 cannot move location counter backwards

so i got permission to try to update u-boot on one of the TQM860 boards, so i checked out the u-boot git repo, ran:

$ make TQM860L_config $ make

and eventually got:

u-boot.lds:76 cannot move location counter backwards (from 40008604 to 40008000) make: *** [u-boot] Error 1

i can read an explanation of what that allegedly means here:

http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/PortingProblemCannotMoveLocationCounterBac...

but that explanation is in the context of someone *porting* u-boot to a new board. should i expect this for what should be an already supported board?

in any event, it's late so i'll tackle this again tomorrow.
