Hm... Maybe it is indeed not a good idea to mix short objects with those requiring larger alignments - we might lose space at best, or case misaligned variables? Eventually it's better to explicitly write *(.bss*) *(.sbss*) as we have it in many PowerPC linker scripts (but I have to admit that I don't know if this is really needed - I don't see any .sbss anywhere in this build (I do see them in some objects for PowerPC). For example: PowerPC: -> readelf -S common/dlmalloc.o | grep bss [ 3] .bss NOBITS 00000000 000034 000000 00 WA 0 0 1 [36] .bss.n_mmaps_max NOBITS 00000000 002728 000004 00 WA 0 0 4 [37] .sbss.mem_malloc_ NOBITS 00000000 002728 000004 00 WA 0 0 4 [38] .bss.max_total_me NOBITS 00000000 002728 000004 00 WA 0 0 4 [40] .bss.max_sbrked_m NOBITS 00000000 00272c 000004 00 WA 0 0 4 [43] .bss.top_pad NOBITS 00000000 002734 000004 00 WA 0 0 4 [44] .sbss.mem_malloc_ NOBITS 00000000 002734 000004 00 WA 0 0 4 [45] .sbss.mem_malloc_ NOBITS 00000000 002734 000004 00 WA 0 0 4 [46] .bss.current_mall NOBITS 00000000 002734 000028 00 WA 0 0 4 ARM: -> readelf -S common/dlmalloc.o | grep bss [ 5] .bss NOBITS 00000000 0015e0 000044 00 WA 0 0 4 Best regards, Wolfgang Denk -- DENX Software Engineering GmbH, MD: Wolfgang Denk & Detlev Zundel HRB 165235 Munich, Office: Kirchenstr.5, D-82194 Groebenzell, Germany Phone: (+49)-8142-66989-10 Fax: (+49)-8142-66989-80 Email: w...@denx.de I've got a bad feeling about this. _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
