    85xx: Use gc-sections to reduce image size

    
which made change to :
"
--- a/arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc85xx/config.mk
+++ b/arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc85xx/config.mk
@@ -25,6 +25,10 @@ PLATFORM_RELFLAGS += -fPIC -meabi
 
 PLATFORM_CPPFLAGS += -ffixed-r2 -Wa,-me500 -msoft-float -mno-string
 
+# Enable gc-sections to enable generation of smaller images.
+PLATFORM_LDFLAGS += --gc-sections
+PLATFORM_RELFLAGS += -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections
"

makes the u-boot-spl.bin, u-boot-spl-16k.bin to 0 bytes? At least I
tried to build MPC8536DS_NAND_config, MPC8569MDS_NAND_config,
P1021MDS_NAND_config, and got 0 bytes of those nand_spl binaries for
them all.

Thanks.
