We are using internal STLinux distribution. I tried compiling for spear320,
and I couldn't succeed. Just to move a step further, can you please try
"make spear320" at your end? If the error is not received at your end, I
can be sure that the problem is due to the distribution at my end.

Thanks in advance.

PS: I used v2011.12. "spear320" entry isn't there in the boards.cfg file. I
shall be sending patch to update the same once I resolve this linking error.
