It's the following code from start.S: ENTRY(cpu_init_crit) /* * Jump to board specific initialization... * The Mask ROM will have already initialized * basic memory.

I tried adding back USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC=yes and I'm still seeing it fail the same way though, so maybe what I'm seeing is different or it's a combination of things. Regardless I have a JTAG debugger on the system so I'll drill down until I figure out what's wrong. -Allen -- nvpublic ___ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot

USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC is a workaround for broken tool chains only. It must never be automatically set for any configuration. If you know of tool chains that require this, then complain there and have the bugs fixed with hteir upstream. Yes, I know this may be painful to you, and it _shall_ be painful, so that you finally take some action to have the tool chains fixed that need so. I will not accept anything like this in mainline.

The USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC was used to prevent armv5 instructions from the toolchain's libgcc from getting into the code that executes on the AVP which is an arm7tdmi (armv4t). Since all the code that runs on the AVP is built separately now as part of the SPL, using the toolchain's libgcc should work for the main u-boot build. USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC is still turned on for the SPL build. I've tested the following toolchains on ventana and seaboard tegra20 platforms: gcc 4.4.6 arm7tdmi-linux-gnueabi built with crosstool-ng gcc 4.4.6 cortex_a9-linux-gnueabi built with crosstool-ng gcc 4.6.1 cortex_a9-linux-gnueabi built with crosstool-ng Tell me what CodeSourcery version you're using and I'll test it here as well and see if I can reproduce the problem. -Allen -- nvpublic ___ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot

After porting over my changes to the new SPL boot I had to switch to a CodeSourcery toolchain containing a libgcc. So I'm not entirely sure where the problem lies, as I varied codebase and toolchain at one. But I confirmed that this patch works with both of my toolchains.

I wonder why I haven't seen any issue with this; perhaps SPL on all the boards I tested ended up not using any libgcc functions?
