The use of BUG(), WARN_ON() and friends brings in __FILE__. I'll send
a patch to help with that.

At least with gcc 7.3 it builds OK for me.

There are about 13KB of strings in SPL for this board.

I hate to say it, but it seems that the gcc rodata bug has returned.
For example, it brings in the compat_name[] when building SPL, even
though that is not actually used. I vaguely recall that this only
happens when partial linking is used, but I cannot easily change
U-Boot to use archives these days.
