Hello list,

[DNX#2006033142000258] was created:

<snip>
> Hello everybody
> 
> there is a compilation error with GCC >= 3.4 and all U-Boot ARM  
> targets like motorola mx1ads (arm920t).
> the ARM '-mshort-load-bytes' compilation flag is deprecated and no  
> more supported.
> Since all referenced ARM cpus are based on the ARMv4 core or higher,  
> It is possible to remove this flag.
> the binary code produced is compatible (as described in GCC doc).
> I checked it with the ELDK GCC 3.3.3 and a GCC 3.4.2 without problem  
> on a Freescale imx board.
> 
> Note: There is an alternate GCC flag to solve this problem (- 
> malignment-traps)  but this flag seems to be deprecated with the  
> recent  GCC 4.
> 
> Actually i'm interested to solve the problem with the arm920t.
> For developers this is the list of affected files/architectures and  
> hereafter a patch to support GCC 3.4 and upper:
