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

[Teun Grinwis]

Thanks for your time Murray,

but ... it didn't workout successful.

but, the reason for my problems is the gcc version.
I now compiled with version 2.95.3 from:
http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/m68k-elf-tools/m68k-elf-tools-20030314.sh

I have some minor compile problem
( var declaration in middle of compound statement)

I am able to build u-boot.srec with use of patch below.

Here is patch:

I use GCC-3.4.3 to build U-Boot for our MPC8560 based board. I had an
internal linker error which I traced to the following in my linker script:

  . = + SIZEOF_HEADERS;

I changed this to:

  . = + 1024;

and it prevented the core dump in the linker.
