I'm in the process of updating platform support for spear series of SoC on the latest u-boot. I picked u-boot v2011.12. I tried compiling for different spear boards (spear 300, 310, 300 and spear600). In every compilation, I'm getting following errors:
arm-linux-ld: section .bss [007263cc -> 00728c5b] overlaps section .rel.dyn [007263cc -> 0072a623] arm-linux-ld: u-boot: section .bss lma 0x7263cc overlaps previous sections make: *** [u-boot] Error 1
This is one case.
In fact, .bss overlapping .rel.dyn is normal -- the linker file even explicitly states this with ".bss __rel_dyn_start (OVERLAY)".
Ok.
Which compiler do you use and which board exactly are you building?
As mentioned in the beginning of this mail, he tried compiling lot of boards, spear 300, 310, 300 and spear600.
There is a internal distribution from ST we are using, STLinux. Maybe we can try some other distribution, maybe Linaro. I can't really comment if this issue is due to the distributions we are using. :(
The latest by which Amit can try compiling it again is Monday. Lets see what other distribution gives.
