So I did a quick test too with my copy of u-boot: (gdb) disass /r 0x00000000effa0a48,0x00000000effa0a68 Dump of assembler code from 0xeffa0a48 to 0xeffa0a68: 0xeffa0a48 <_GOT2_TABLE_+9800>: f0 00 00 dc .long 0xf00000dc 0xeffa0a4c <_GOT2_TABLE_+9804>: ef f6 29 48 .long 0xeff62948 0xeffa0a50 <_GOT2_TABLE_+9808>: f0 00 00 e0 .long 0xf00000e0 0xeffa0a54 <_GOT2_TABLE_+9812>: 4e 80 00 21 blrl ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 0xeffa0a58 <_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+0>: 00 00 00 00 .long 0x0 0xeffa0a5c <_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+4>: 00 00 00 00 .long 0x0 0xeffa0a60 <_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+8>: 00 00 00 00 .long 0x0 0xeffa0a64 <_FIXUP_TABLE_+0>: ef fa 23 1c .long 0xeffa231c $ powerpc-softfloat_4.5.3-linux-gnu-ld --version GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.21.1 I don't know it this is tool(ld) problem or if something in u-boot's build env. Try dropping --gc-sections, see if that changes anything, or add --bss-plt or similar _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
