As mentioned in the beginning of this mail, he tried compiling lot of boards,
spear 300, 310, 300 and spear600.

There is a internal distribution from ST we are using, STLinux. Maybe we can try
some other distribution, maybe Linaro. I can't really comment if this
issue is due
to the distributions we are using. :(

The latest by which Amit can try compiling it again is Monday. Lets see what
other distribution gives.
