No, TRAB is not a PXA system. It's a s3c2400 board.

No, this is not correct.

The only effect of this is to put the environment into a separate linker section. You can do this, but you don't have to. You can make this work without this setting es well. Just configure your linker script correctly.
My board is not on the first #if, so it felt back to the last #else, thus placing the env_size and environment in the wrong order.
This is an error in your linker script then.
