[U-Boot-Users] U-boot for MIPS - problem using latest gcc

[Jerry Walden]

My toolchain builds the latest mips kernel and the kernel runs
perfectly.

If you look in start.S - there is a branch to memsetup.  In start.S
there is NO definition of this symbol (i.e. as an external or
otherwise).  

The start.S file includes some files, none of which have any reference
to memsetup.  Does the toolchain in ELDK assume that any symbol which is
not defined as an extern, or is not defined in the file as a direct
label, must be external?  Makes no sense to me.

I could ask wy you use an old version, but it does not matter here.

See below.

Indeed. And actually this is building fine:

	-> tar jxf /opt/tarballs/u-boot-1.0.0.tar.bz2 
	-> cd u-boot-1.0.0
	-> MAKEALL dbau1x00
	rm -f include/config.h include/config.mk
	Configuring for dbau1x00 board...
	net.c: In function `NetStartAgain':
	net.c:492: warning: integer overflow in expression
	   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
	 112120    4760   17252  134132   20bf4 u-boot

Since all of your  steps  except  one  work  fine  here  I  can  only
speculate  that  the  problem  must be in the step where we do things
differently: I use a working compiler.

Seems your toolchain has some problems?
