GCC can be built with different defaults. The -mno-string option
guarantees that string instructions will not be generated. I wrote some
half-year ago that I too need this option for my GCC version. In theory,
-mcpu=8540 implies -mno-string. In the real world, at least some GCC
versions generate string instructions if -mno-string is not specified
explicitly, and you can discover this only when the U-Boot crashes in
run-time.
