Dear Albert,
Since this is an ARM question, I'll look into it, and since Wolfgang will be on vacation, I suggest either that we either postpone -rc1, or (preferably IMO) that we tag -rc1 now with a specific warning about the ARM tree, and I analyze what the issue is using several ARM toolchains, both on a 32 and a 64 bits system, with a resolution on -rc2.
I think the resolution should be fast because on a 32-bit system (sorry, don't have one any more, will keep a VM somewhere from now on...) the failure rate is 100%, thus I should be able to quickly set up a 32-bit VM and ELDK 4.2 and pinpoint the issue, say during the week-end.
This is my results of "MAKEALL arm" on current u-boot-arm/master (6623feeaa463f5931fe684f900f605999cd844e2 Merge remote-tracking branch 'u-boot-atmel/master' into m):
