[U-Boot-Users] Section overlap

[k bisla]

Hi,
I'm using U-boot-1.0.0 on an ebony board (ppc),
and running into section overlap error at the time of linking.
here's what the output looks like ...

section .u_boot_cmd [ffffef50 -> fffff567] overlaps section .bootpg 
[fffff000 -> fffff29f]

1) how do i get around this ?
Taking out cmd_bmp, cmd_ide, cmd_scsi  etc etc which i'm not using from the 
common/Makefile helped,
Looks like i cant take out most of the commands, they are referred from 
other portion of the code.

2) How does these commands scheme work, are the always linked in ?
3) I thought you could cherry pick the ones you need. is this correct ?
4) Also is this a right approach to handle the above problem.
5) Would using -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections for gcc and --gc-sections 
for the linker possible.

Any suggestion how i could remove unwanted stuff.
Your thoughts and suggestion would be appreciated.
