[U-Boot-Users] Building U-Boot with GCC3.4.0

[Marc Leeman]

FYI

The 3.4 was the only thing we needed to create our own toolchain that
was at least as performant (binary wise) as a commercial toolchain.

I was able to compile u-boot with the toolchain (buildroot based,
powerpc-linux-uclibc-gcc) but the final linkcing failed (caused a
segfault, Make error 321 or something).

For the time being, I use the ELDK compiler to build u-boot and the
3.4 based toolchain for everything else (including the kernel). I'll
have another look at it in the next weeks or so.
