[U-Boot] Build broken for bf538f-ezkit board - not enough ram

Hi,
Some of the recent commits on u-boot/master have broken the build of bf538f-ezkit board. The build was fine for v2014.07-rc3. However, now there is the following error:
bfin-elf-ld.bfd: u-boot section `.bss' will not fit in region `ram' bfin-elf-ld.bfd: region `ram' overflowed by 40 bytes
I did not pin-point exactly what has increased the image size, and if the growth is in the .text or .bss section.
Maybe some of the features shall be dropped from the board config to decrease the size.
Also, may be related: http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2014-April/177928.html
Best, Vasili

This is still broken and now the bf533-stamp board seems to have the same error. Best, Vasili

The only way I see to fix it is dropping some features from there boards to reduce the image size. As I'm not a user of these boards, I don't know what can be dropped. However, I can suggest sacrificing performance instead of features. Proposed patch:
