[U-Boot] New Oxford Semiconductor board with assertion fail in linker

[Michael Kebe]

Hi,

I am trying to port support for a board from Oxford Semiconductor to
the current head of the git repository.
Medion released GPL Sources of their P89626 NAS [1].

In these sources there are using an old version 1.1.2 of U-Boot with
some modification a board from Oxford Semiconductor. The board is
called ox820.

I made a clone of the git repo [2] and modified the source to get the
compiliation working. The modifications I made, can be viewed here
[3].

When I am trying to build, I get this error from the linker (I also
tried the toolchain which is included in the download from Medion):

Here is the code from binutils. The assertion fails in the line with
the BFD_ASSERT
	    case DT_PLTRELSZ:
	      s = bfd_get_section_by_name (output_bfd,
					   RELOC_SECTION (htab, ".plt"));
	      BFD_ASSERT (s != NULL);
	      dyn.d_un.d_val = s->size;
	      bfd_elf32_swap_dyn_out (output_bfd, &dyn, dyncon);
	      break;

What I am doing wrong? What is missing? Where should I look know? Is
this a bug in binutils?
