[U-Boot] Compiling with arm-eabi and YAFFS2

[Chris Isbell]

U-Boot 2009.08 fails to compile with the arm-eabi compiler (V4.1.0 and
V4.3.1) when YAFFS2 support is enabled (CONFIG_YAFFS2 defined as 1). It
reports undefined symbols. (JFFS2 support compiles successfully.)

Having investigated, it appears that a work around is to create dummy
functions as follows:

#ifdef CONFIG_YAFFS2
/*
* These stub functions are needed when using the arm-eabi compiler with
YAFFS2 
* support. This is a complete hack and will probably need to be revised.
* (Chris Isbell 23rd October 2009.)
*/
void abort(void)
{

}

void __exidx_start(void)
{

}

void __exidx_end(void)
{

}
#endif

For convenience, I included these temporarily with my board-specific
initialisation code - which is clearly not a good place.

Has anyone else run into this problem and is there a more elegant
solution?

Thanks,
