Wellcome, 佐亮 朱, you are the first user of the i386 port, besides 
myself, that I have
heard of.

I use the following (which is close to what you're using,
but you could try to ditch the RH gcc 2.96 compiler I think it is
known to be no good.)

gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)
GNU ld version 2.12.90.0.1 20020307 Debian/GNU Linux

What is the .rodata.str1.1 section for?

I think you'll need to modify board/sc520_cdp/u-boot.lds to take this 
section in account.

If you're serius about using the i386 port you'll want to get another 
patch from me which
fixes a few problem I have found. Un-fortunatly we have a deadline before 
Easter so
I dont think that I'll be able to provide this patch before we have 
deliverted.

Drop me an email after the Easter holidays and I'll try to produce the 
patch for you.
