[U-Boot-Users] Re: U-boot 0.3.0 compilation error with ELDK 3.0

[Nishant Galange]

I wish it were possible to get my hands on the person who first customised the u-boot. I'd shoot him for not starting out with a more recent version of u-boot in the first place.

But whats done is done, and now I have this task in front of me. 

Is there absolutely no way out?

What is more surprising is that the makefiles 
and config.mk files seem exactly the same as in
u-boot 1.1.1.

Especially the -Ttext 0xFFF00000 flag which is causing the error. 
I did find out that the  -mrelocatable flag 
has changed to -fPIC. That was one of the first
hurdles that I faced. But this one has me stumped.

I repeat, is there absolutely no way out? I'm desperate.

Anxiously,
Nishant.

U-Boot 0.3.0 is too old and cannot be compiled with  recent  versions
of  GCC.  GCC-3.x  requires a few adaptions which were added in later
versions of U-Boot.

Pleas euse current code (I hope whoever provided  the  port  to  your
board cared to send his patches upstream).
