Hmmm... binutils 2.10.1 are 10 (in words: TEN !!!) years old.

It takes some courage to dig out such old code...

U-Boot 1.2.0 is also way over 3 years old.


Please consider both versions as hopelessly obsoleted and completely
unsupported.


Please update both U-Boot and especially your tool chain.

Best regards,
