Thansk Simon.

In file arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S, line 179 uses relocate_done and
line 228 provides it, and there is no preprocessor conditional
in-between, so I fail to see how you could get this error.

Is your tree (and branch) available so that I can try and see the issue
for myself? Either it'll uncover a problem in my patch series, or it'll
help you merge it (or both).
