And you need to fix the relocation not to relocate NULL values, see http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/gcc/gcc/config/rs6000/eabi.asm?rev=1.13&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup look for __eabi_uconvert. For fun I once tried to rewrite these functions i C, not tested though: void __eabi_convert(unsigned long *low, unsigned long *high, unsigned long addend) { unsigned long len = high - low, val; if (!len) return; low--; do { val = *++low; if (!val) continue; *low = val + addend; } while(--len); } void __eabi_uconvert(unsigned long *low, unsigned long *high, unsigned long addend) { unsigned long len = high - low, val, val2, *v2p; if (!len) return; low--; do { val = *++low; val += addend; v2p = (unsigned long *)val; *low = val; val2 = *v2p; val2 += addend; *v2p = val2; } while(--len); } void __eabi_uconvert_org(unsigned long *low, unsigned long *high, unsigned long addend) { unsigned long len = high - low, val, val2, *v2p; if (!len) return; low--; do { val = *++low; val += addend; v2p = (unsigned long *)val; val2 = *v2p; *low = val; val2 += addend; *v2p = val2; } while(--len); } _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
