[U-Boot] what are RELFLAGS?

We seem to set CPPFLAGS to include RELFLAGS but I'm wondering how PLATFORM_ RELFLAGS is suppose to differ from PLATFORM_CPPFLAGS.
I especially love the following:
cpu/i386/config.mk:PLATFORM_RELFLAGS += cpu/nios/config.mk:PLATFORM_RELFLAGS += cpu/nios2/config.mk:PLATFORM_RELFLAGS +=
(Yes they are blank after the +=)

Dear Kumar Gala,

RELFLAGS are intended to provide flags that are relevant for relocation issues, IIRC.
I especially love the following:
cpu/i386/config.mk:PLATFORM_RELFLAGS += cpu/nios/config.mk:PLATFORM_RELFLAGS += cpu/nios2/config.mk:PLATFORM_RELFLAGS +=

He. Please submit a patch :-)
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

my understanding is that REL is short for release, and so you put flags in there that arent preprocessor flags -mike
