I wish it were possible to get my hands on the person who first customised the u-boot. I'd shoot him for not starting out with a more recent version of u-boot in the first place.

But whats done is done, and now I have this task in front of me.

Is there absolutely no way out?

What is more surprising is that the makefiles and config.mk files seem exactly the same as in u-boot 1.1.1.

Especially the -Ttext 0xFFF00000 flag which is causing the error. I did find out that the -mrelocatable flag has changed to -fPIC. That was one of the first hurdles that I faced. But this one has me stumped.

I repeat, is there absolutely no way out? I'm desperate.

Anxiously, Nishant.

In message 1106566247.8c1d0e9cnishant.subs@myrealbox.com you wrote:

• ELDK 3.0 installed and running on my machine.
• customised u-boot 0.3.0 source meant for a 8266 based PMC addin card.
• no possible contact with the person who first customized and built it.
• the task of making some minor modifications in it.

When I try to compile the above mentioned u-boot, I get the following error :

U-Boot 0.3.0 is too old and cannot be compiled with recent versions of GCC. GCC-3.x requires a few adaptions which were added in later versions of U-Boot.

Pleas euse current code (I hope whoever provided the port to your board cared to send his patches upstream).
