I don't think so.  But I have to admit that I never thoroughly
verifyed this either.  The standalone code itself is not suposed to
reference GD in any way; and the U-Boot routines that the standalone
call can call are runnign in the context of the current U-Boot, where
everything fits together.  So unless somebody misuses something, it
should all work out well.  At least, that's my theory.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
