Tried the same stuff for overo and no issues!

Since there linker scripts are same between omap3_evm, omap3_beagle
and omap3_overo, only difference could have been board specific code.

I was hoping to find some code that might be offending the linker;
unable to find by inspection, I reduced the default configuration
for the evm to as low as I could - still see:

arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ld: section .bss [800fe358 -> 800fee1b] overlaps section .rel.dyn [800fe358 -> 8010076f]
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ld: u-boot: section .bss vma 0x800fe358 overlaps previous sections

I am still not sure why the start of .bss and .rel.dyn for omap3_evm start at same address
but 

Looking for more pointers!
Specifically, a "big" generic change that somehow didn't touch the omap3evm; but did touch others.
...will start looking at the git-log immediately after this mail.
