[U-Boot] Compiling the latest u-boot-2009.06 with Cross-2.95, and errors came out

[Johnson Yu]

Hi Detlev Z,


Thanks for your suggestions, and after I upgraded the toolchain to v3.2, 
those problems went away.

However, new errors turned up as expected:

1) the invocations of U_BOOT_CMD in several .c files, common/cmd_bootm.c 
line 923, common/cmd_source.c line 232, common/cmd_ximg.c line 186 
terminated the make process for the "unterminated argument list invoking 
macro "U_BOOT_CMD" ", known as the "parse error". So, I set the last 
argument of U_BOOT_CMD marco to NULL, and then make went silent.

2) this error came at the linking stage:

  
"arm-linux-ld:/home/johnson-yn/GEARI/u-boot-2009.06/board/atmel/at91rm9200dk/u-boot.lds:40: 
parse error
make: *** [u-boot] Error 1"

and the line 40 of u-boot.lds is :

 .rodata : { *(SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT(SORT_BY_NAME(.rodata*))) }

how should I solve this?


If I just don't need use NAND flash module in u-boot, what are the steps 
I should take??


Regards,

Johnson Yu
