I can report the same issue with OBS build of u-boot.

When u-boot is build with qemu emulated environment with gcc-4.8.2
(native armv7l toolchain) in the OBS it needs patch prepared by Andreas.

However I can build the same code from u-boot directory (without this
patch) with following toolchain:
arm-v7a-linux-gnueabi-gcc (OSELAS.Toolchain-2013.12.0
linaro-4.8-2013.11) 4.8.3 20131111

Any ideas how to solve this?
