Thanks for doing this. I also made such a log for Alexander
on 27.10.2010 in u-boot%irc.freenode.org (couldn;t find this
in the history :-(  )  after we foun out, that on his board
nand_chip resist on the old address before relocation ...

and I said to him, that it works fine on this board,
and ... we came to the opinion, that it maybe is a
toolchain issue ... IIRC he uses gcc-4.5x ... and
he wanted to try ELDK-4.2 ...

Yep, that look good, and I don;t think it is a code problem.

Alexander, did you tried (as you thought to do)
ELDK-4.2 with gcc-4.2.x ? Are you sure your toolchain works
correct with -pie?

bye,
Heiko
