[U-Boot] [PATCH V5] libgcc inclusion from common Makefile overwritable from platform configs files

Dear Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD,

Please mind the hints: "overwrit" is a typo. You  meant  "overwrite",
and  Mike  just  explained  that  "override" is even more appropriate
here.

Correct spelling is "tool chains", not "toolchains".

Please fix the comment.

In git history, there will be no "following one" patch, and here you
did not post one either. If you don't have it ready yet, then please
use a description of what it will do.

And "we will be able  to  have  full  control  to  have  a  functions
embedded  into  u-boot"  makes  no  sense.  Either it is "a function"
(singular), or it is "functions" (plural, without "a"). But  what  do
you  want  to  tell  us? "have functions embedded into U-Boot"? We do
this all the time by linking them in - we already have  full  control
over  it  (except  that  it's not working as expected sometimes), and
your patch does not really change anything of this.


You wrote: "gcc does not provide necessarely cored functions". Sorry,
but I have no idea what you are talking about here. What is a "cored
function"?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
