On ARM architectures prior to ARMv4, there were no + instructions to access half-word objects stored in memory. However, + when reading from memory a feature of the ARM architecture allows a + word load to be used, even if the address is unaligned, and the + processor core will rotate the data as it is being loaded. + This option tells the compiler that such misaligned accesses will cause + a MMU trap and that it should instead synthesize the access as a series + of byte accesses. The compiler can still use word accesses to load + half-word data if it knows that the address is aligned to a word + boundary. + This option has no effect when compiling for ARM architecture 4 or + later, since these processors have instructions to directly access + half-word objects in memory. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- +The gcc-2.9.53 manual has:- +-mshort-load-bytes + Do not try to load half-words (eg `short's) by loading a word from an + unaligned address. For some targets the MMU is configured to trap + unaligned loads; use this option to generate code that is safe in + these environments. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- +Floating point code will not be accepted into the U-Boot main tree. +However, the ELDK toolchains provide soft floating point support +(their libraries are built with the -msoft-float option). Hence, this option can +be supplied to the U-Boot code, when building with the ELDK toolchain, to ensure +any floating point arithmetic, included locally, links in the floating point +support code correctly. This option is not used in the main code tree since code +built with soft float support cannot be linked if the toolchain used has not +been built with the soft float option. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- +Please note:- +a) U-Boot is intended to be statically linked binary. + Hence toolchains which make linux kernel calls e.g. to raise() should + not be used. +b) -ffixed-r8 will not allow access to the gd pointer in ARM FIQ mode + since FIQ mode has it's own r8. + A patch to use another shared register is planned by + peter.pearse<at>arm.com. +c) Information regarding the Code Sourcery EABI toolchains is available + from http://www.codesourcery.com. + See esp. http://www.codesourcery.com/archives. +d) If using a toolchain which has not been built to offer ARM/thumb + interworking the following line removes warnings of the form + "X does not support interworking, whereas Y does" + PLATFORM_CPPFLAGS +=$(call cc-option,-mno-thumb-interwork,) +e) Link errors generally arise where the toolchain libraries have not been + built with the same options as the U-Boot code.
