Hi,
I am using U-Boot on a Coldfire to load FPGA code (Xilinx Spartan3 and Altera Cyclone2, currently) and am just trying to update my code base to current U-Boot for finally sending patches.
Now I recognized that commit 6385b28116f775da4771b768ba9bf93c3aaaf26e removed FPGA relocation, which of course breaks FPGA code for my Coldfire board.
What is the "proper relocation for PPC boards" that is mentioned by Peter in his commit log? I found this test patch by him: http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2009-September/060582.html which leads me to the assumption that for PPC, newer compilers do the right thing (TM) when given -mrelocatable, but - my m68k-elf-gcc (Sourcery G++ Lite 4.3-208) 4.3.3 (that was the newest one I could get my hands on that is able to compile U-Boot at all) does not know -mrelocatable - I do not understand how the compiler could know about the relocation for the FPGA (and possibly other) functions when the actual relocation is done during U-Boot run time?
Can anybody give some hints where I have to look at or where my misunderstanding occurs?
Thank you, Wolfgang
