[U-Boot] Build problem - ppmc7xx configuration
Hi,
I'm trying to compile the "v2014.04" tag using "ppmc7xx" configuration on Ubuntu using powerpc-none-eabi toolchain. I'm running the following:
make CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-none-eabi- O=out/ ppmc7xx_config make CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-none-eabi- O=out/
And receiving the following error: [...] LDS u-boot.lds LD u-boot powerpc-none-eabi-ld.bfd: /usr/powerpc-none-eabi/lib/gcc/powerpc-none-eabi/4.8.1/libgcc.a(_lshrdi3.o): compiled normally and linked with modules compiled with -mrelocatable powerpc-none-eabi-ld.bfd: failed to merge target specific data of file /usr/powerpc-none-eabi/lib/gcc/powerpc-none-eabi/4.8.1/libgcc.a(_lshrdi3.o) powerpc-none-eabi-ld.bfd: /usr/powerpc-none-eabi/lib/gcc/powerpc-none-eabi/4.8.1/libgcc.a(_ashldi3.o): compiled normally and linked with modules compiled with -mrelocatable powerpc-none-eabi-ld.bfd: failed to merge target specific data of file /usr/powerpc-none-eabi/lib/gcc/powerpc-none-eabi/4.8.1/libgcc.a(_ashldi3.o) powerpc-none-eabi-ld.bfd: /usr/powerpc-none-eabi/lib/gcc/powerpc-none-eabi/4.8.1/libgcc.a(crtresxgpr.o): compiled normally and linked with modules compiled with -mrelocatable powerpc-none-eabi-ld.bfd: failed to merge target specific data of file /usr/powerpc-none-eabi/lib/gcc/powerpc-none-eabi/4.8.1/libgcc.a(crtresxgpr.o) make[1]: *** [u-boot] Error 1 make: *** [sub-make] Error 2
Can anyone please assist me in understanding the problem? Is something wrong with my toolchain? (I've built it myself)
Best regards, Vasili
Dear Vasili,

Well, is this not a pretty self-explanatory error message?

It appears your version of libgcc is not compatible. You can either use a known to be workign tool chain (ELDK comes to mind :-), or you can use U-Boot's own version of the libgcc libraries by adding the CONFIG_USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC=y command line option.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

It's unhappy about toolchain provided libraries, so I lean yes, possible toolchain issue. How did you generate your toolchain? By hand? crosstool-ng? other?

By hand. I wonder what exactly is wrong with it... arm-none-eabi toolchain generated by exactly same method works fine.

Hi Tom,
Looking into it showed that building U-Boot for powerpc configuration uses "-mrelocatable" flag. So I have solved the problem by recompiling gcc with CFLAGS_FOR_TARGET="-mrelocatable-lib".
However, this rises the following question. What is different between powerpc build of U-Boot and all other architectures? Why only powerpc adds -mrelocatable flag while all other architectures don't add it?
Original commit adding the flag:
SHA-1: 858290178f222d998b6425d85cf06822467918f3
* ppc: Enable full relocation to RAM
The following changes allow U-Boot to fully relocate from flash to RAM: - Remove linker scripts' .fixup sections from the .text section - Add -mrelocatable to PLATFORM_RELFLAGS for all boards - Define CONFIG_RELOC_FIXUP_WORKS for all boards
Previously, U-Boot would partially relocate, but statically initialized pointers needed to be manually relocated.
