Well, isn't this a typical "Don't do that then!" situation?
(Cf. http://www.jargon.net/jargonfile/d/Dontdothatthen.html)

If this compiler option causes problems (which is IMHO not a surpise at
all), then why are you using it?

None of the U-Boot build rules contain any such option.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
