This issue is solved by this patch:

    http://www.denx.de/wiki/pub/U-Boot/TooBigPatches/0001-Switch-from-archive-libraries-to-partial-linking-v4.patch

Here is the relevant thread from the mailing list:

    http://www.mail-archive.com/u-boot@lists.denx.de/msg41959.html

Note that the patch has not yet made it into U-Boot and may change again
before it is accepted.
