[U-Boot-Users] BSS initialization wrong on ARM??

Hi folks,

on the smdk2410 I found out that the BSS segment is initialized at offset 0x4 
and not with offset 0x0, leaving the first entry undefined (in my case 
timer_load_val), at least with gcc-3.3. Cause of pain is 
arm920t/start.S:clear_bss

clear_bss:
	ldr	r0, _bss_start		/* find start of bss segment        */
	add	r0, r0, #4		/* start at first byte of bss       */
	ldr	r1, _bss_end		/* stop here                        */

I think the add has to be removed. This also seems to be the case on arm720t 
and arm926ejs.

Bye,
