[U-Boot-Users] Compilation/run issues with native gcc

[Demke Torsten-atd012]

Hello all,

in our development enviroment we use some PowerMacs running Debian to 
compile U-Boot/Linux kernel.
With the latest compilers I have some issues with u-boot:
1) gcc 3.3.4 - Linking of u-boot image failes:
...
        ld -Bstatic -T /opt/eldk-3.1.1/ppc_6xx/root/u-boot-1.1.3/board/eXalion/u-boot.lds -Ttext
 0xFFF00000  -n $UNDEF_SYM cpu/mpc824x/start.o \
                --start-group lib_generic/libgeneric.a board/eXalion/libeXalion.a cpu/mpc824x/libmpc824x.a lib_ppc/libppc.a fs/cramfs/libcramfs.a fs/fat/libfat.a fs/fdos/libfdos.a fs/jffs2/libjffs2.a 
fs/reiserfs/libreiserfs.a fs/ext2/libext2fs.a net/libnet.a disk/libdisk.a rtc/librtc.a dtt/libdtt.a 
drivers/libdrivers.a drivers/sk98lin/libsk98lin.a post/libpost.a post/cpu/libcpu.a common/libcommon.a 
--end-group -L /usr/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-linux/3.3.4 -lgcc \
                -Map u-boot.map -o u-boot
make: *** [u-boot] Error 139

If I remove "-Map u-boot.map" from the Makefile the linking is successful.

2) gcc 3.3.6 - Linking OK(?), but image cannot run (cmd relocation failes):

Assuming that only __cmd*  should be between  __u_boot_cmd_start and __u_boot_cmd_end
my System.map looks suspicious:

Comments on that?

P.S. When using the compiler from ELDK (3.3.3 )in native mode, the image compiles and runs OK.
