Unfortunately EABI relocation seems to be a rather undocumented thing.

So, from Rune's list, it seems you actually need a 'middling' compiler
version, too old won't work, and too new won't work!

Sadly, I'm currently using gcc-3.4.3 for my U-Boot builds, so I'll
probably try one of the other two fixes, at least as an interim measure,
to prove that otherwise my u-boot-1.3.0 build is working.
