Hey guys, as of U-Boot v2018.01, the bootloader requires at least a GCC 6 based toolchain for ARM targets [1]. Building will fail with GCCs prior to 6. (I.e. current default 5.5.0)
For the Kirkwood target, I've prepared a patch to bring it to v2018.01, but that would result in a failed build as stated above. (Of course, when manually selecting GCC6 as compiler everything is fine) How can this situation be resolved? -) Stick to U-Boot 2017.11 until GCC 6.x is the default here? -) Is a switch to GCC6 planned in the near future? -) Undo the changes in [1] via a local patch and check, whether GCC5 is still fine for Kirkwood? While the bootloader may not be that important in day to day business, eventually a 'regular' package might have a requirement for a newer compiler too... Best, P.
