[U-Boot-Users] can't resolve symbol _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_

[Mudeem Iqbal]

hi,

I am trying to cross compile u-boot for mips. I have U-boot-1.1.2. Toolchain
comprises of the following packages

binutils-2.15.94.0.2
gcc-3.4.3
glibc-2.3.3

During the cross compulation I get the following error

/home/mudeem/ubootPrj/u-boot-1.1.2/cpu/mips/start.S: Assembler messages:
/home/mudeem/ubootPrj/u-boot-1.1.2/cpu/mips/start.S:241: Error: can't
resolve `_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_'
{*UND* section} - `L1 1' {.text section}
make: *** [cpu/mips/start.o] Error 1

In a previous post from Leif I read that binutil 2.15 has some compatibility
issue with U-Boot. I wanted to know that is there any patch of U-boot
available that overcomes this incompatibility or should I build a toolchin
using binutil 2.13. Also is the problem with binutil 2.15 or with U-Boot.

Thanks in advance

Mudeem
