[U-Boot] Observation: rebasing against current master increases code size by 1.8k

Just an observation on my AT91SAM9XE based board:
based on yesterday's master + arm elf relocations + my (then not mainstreamed) patches: 256288 bytes
based on current master: 258020 bytes
Otherwise it compiles without warnings and runs fine. Just some non-reloc-related patches have increased code size by that amount - finding out which are to "blame" is probably not worth the effort.
Best Regards, Reinhard

look at the env change ? ea882baf9c17cd142c99e3ff640d3ab01daa5cec -mike

That (old) commit was in mainstream already. Related fixups do not matter for my board since env_mmc ist not included and ARM_RELOC_FIXUP_WORKS is set.

it isnt old. it was *committed* a while ago, but wasnt *merged* into mainline until after the latest release (v2010.09). so it's new to the master branch.
that's the only common code change that pops into my mind after the v2010.09 release was made. -mike
