Greetings,

Has anyone encountered similar compile problem? 
I get the same 'wrong compiler' situation when compiling for 5282EVB with m68k-
elf-gcc 3.4.0, with the error:

<snip>
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/vng/u-boot/post/cpu'

relative conditional branch to absolute jump
make: *** [cpu/mcf52x2/start.o] Error 1

with limited cross-compiling experience, I'm really stuck. Hopefully someone 
will be kind enough to give some pointers.

best regards,

Vince
