[U-Boot] TQM860L_config: u-boot.lds:76 cannot move location counter backwards
so i got permission to try to update u-boot on one of the TQM860 boards, so i checked out the u-boot git repo, ran:
$ make TQM860L_config $ make
and eventually got:
u-boot.lds:76 cannot move location counter backwards (from 40008604 to 40008000) make: *** [u-boot] Error 1
i can read an explanation of what that allegedly means here:
http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/PortingProblemCannotMoveLocationCounterBac...
but that explanation is in the context of someone *porting* u-boot to a new board. should i expect this for what should be an already supported board?
in any event, it's late so i'll tackle this again tomorrow.

What version of uboot do you use? What compiler and it's version do you use?

What version of uboot do you use? What compiler and it's version do you use?
i'm using the latest "git pull" of u-boot, and:
$ powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc --version powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc (crosstool-NG-1.10.0) 4.4.5 ...
i get the same result with u-boot 2010.12.

Your tool chain is broken / generates inefcient code.

--------------------- SUMMARY ---------------------------- Boards compiled: 1 ----------------------------------------------------------
So both older tool chains (GCC 4.2.2) and more recent ones (gcc 6.6.1) build top of tree fine. I save the efforts of building v2010.12 because I already did as part of the QA for that release.
Get yourself a working tool chain.

I think I told you already to try ELDK 5.0 / 5.1.

Top of tree: -> git describe v2011.09-1259-g7708d8b -> eldk-switch -r 4.2 ppc_8xx Setup for ppc_8xx (using ELDK 4.2)
i'm sure someone will yell at me for this question as well, but where does one find "eldk-switch"? i have a fully updated git clone of uboot and there is no such script (which is what i assume i'm looking for).

eldk-switch is internally used script, it is not distributed with U-Boot since its purpose is to configure environment in preparation for building using desired ELDK version.
You don't need this script. You can setup environment i. e. by running
$ export ARCH=powerpc $ export CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- $ export PATH=<your-eldk-root-dir>/usr/bin:$PATH
To check if the environment is set correctly you can try to run installed cross gcc, i.e. run:
${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc -v
More info is available in ELDK documentation, i. e. [1]

um, my understanding for the need of that script (or its equivalent, which i assume is just to switch to the git 4.2 branch), is to avoid this issue:
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/eldk/2011-November/002052.html
which is *precisely* what i ran into, so i'm assuming i need to back off to v4.2. unless that issue has been addressed already in the ELDK toolchain development branch but i didn't see any git commit that referred to it.

For mpc860 you have to use pre-build ELDK-4.2, available at [1]. Mount the iso file, install ppc_8xx cpu family version as described in ELDK documentation [2].

This is fixed in ELDK 5.1. A beta version is available at ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/eldk/5.1-beta/targets/powerpc/
