jocke,

Thanks for your advise,  my lds file is from cpu/mpc8260/u-boot.lds ; I don't change it.
Here is the fixup part:

------------------------------
  .reloc   :
  {
    *(.got)
    _GOT2_TABLE_ = .;
    *(.got2)
    _FIXUP_TABLE_ = .;
    *(.fixup)
  }
  __got2_entries = (_FIXUP_TABLE_ - _GOT2_TABLE_) >> 2;
  __fixup_entries = (. - _FIXUP_TABLE_) >> 2;
--------------------------------------------

And my TEXT_BASE is 0xFFF80000 , because my boot flash is 0.5MB .
I can execute instructions in text section after power on reset.
Is there anything wrong with this configure?
Thanks for your help.
