I use an ARM MV tool chain and its always broken here for my OMAP builds also. I just locally have made a similar change to make the compile work. Whenever I merge in updates I skip this one. I've never bother submitting a patch for it as I assumed it was a bug in the tool chain and I didn't want to update just yet.

From a convenience standpoint I'd like to see this patch applied, but I

wouldn't complain if it isn't as the code is correct.

Regards,

Richard W.

Hello u-boot-users,

Here is a short patch for the examples/Makefile. This improves reliability in the case of a deficient toolchain.

For example the MontaVista (pro 3.0) ppc_82xx objcopy does

not accept

...

srec input, and produces an empty output file which can

confuse make.

Yep, I had noticed this long ago too. Why not just add "-I srec" as in the attached?

This patch ensures that the binary image is produced from

the elf file

...

and not the srec file, which allows a clean build.

PS. MontaVista have 'no general interest in supporting srec input' because of 'how little information srec files contain'.
