[U-Boot-Users] GCC3.4.0 Coldfire 52xx Build problems

[Teun Grinwis]

Hello All,

I am new to U-Boot.
We develop appl. on coldfire M5275EVB with uclinux 2.6, and intent to use
U-Boot as
boot loader.

- Use the gcc3.4.0 toolchain, binutils binutils-2.15.90.0.1.1 from
  http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/m68k-elf-tools/gcc-3/

- I download u-boot from CVS, so latest version.

- Tried to compile for M5272C3_config
  did make M5272C3_config
      make

- got following error:

-----------------------
 - found the same error in the mail list, see
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=10000351
but no real solution mentioned.

 - found that the compiler option -msep-data is the reason for this error.

 - removed -msep-data from cpu/mcf52x2/config.mk

 - now compiling proceeds, but next error occurs:

this flash.c file is version 1.1 from 2003/12/08.

- ok, made patch in flash.c
  compiling proceeds, but next error:

make: *** [u-boot] Error 1

code from binutils:

int
lang_symbol_definition_iteration (const char *name)
{
  struct lang_definedness_hash_entry *defentry
    = (struct lang_definedness_hash_entry *)
    bfd_hash_lookup (&lang_definedness_table, name, FALSE, FALSE);

  /* We've already created this one on the presence of DEFINED in the
     script, so it can't be NULL unless something is borked elsewhere in
     the code.  */
  if (defentry == NULL)
line 1977:    FAIL ();
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  return defentry->iteration;
}

======================================================

so my overall questions,
Is then main reason for this problems that I use GCC3.4.0 toolchain ??
Are other people using U-Boot for coldfire M52xx ??
and did run into same problems ??
I like to hear from their solutions/advices.

=======================================================

Thanks in advance.
