TOT builds fine here:

[stefan at kubuntu u-boot (master)]$ ./MAKEALL sequoia
Configuring for sequoia board...
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 342024   24196  333824  700044   aae8c ./u-boot

That's with ELDK 4.2 (GCC 4.2.2).

But without thinking too hard about it, my feeling is that 
this "ppcenv_assert" in the sequoia u-boot.lds linker script is incorrect. 
BSS is not really part of the resulting U-Boot image.

Best regards,
Stefan
