[ELDK] Unable to compile latest U-boot with ELDK 5.4

[Peter Germer]

Dear List,

Recently I tried to compile latest U-boot from git repository, with no success.
After installing ELDK 5.4 from ISO provided on Denx FTP server, I
installer the ARMv4t target, with the command of:

./install.sh -s gmae -r "minimal" armv4t

After the successful installation I set the variables as suggested by
the ELDK documentation:

source /opt/eldk-5.4/armv4t/environment-setup-armv4t-linux-gnueabi
export CROSS_COMPILE=${TARGET_PREFIX}
export ARCH=${TARGET_PREFIX%%-*}

When I try to compile U-boot, I got the following error:

[...]

I found that -WI,-O1 is set on LDFLAGS variable in the environment setup script:
export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -Wl,--as-needed"

I tried to change it by removing -WI, to use the following parameters:
export LDFLAGS=" -O1 --hash-style=gnu --as-needed"

With this parameters I got much further, but got different error message:

Do you have any idea what could cause these errors, and if there is a
way to compile U-boot with the provided ELDK?

Thanks in advance for any help!
