On boot we see printed
"Jumping to entry point at 0xC1080000."
by UBL.
The debugger agrees:

It appears that TEXT_BASE Is 0xc1080040 in the binary though it is
specified as 0xc1080000:
$arm-none-linux-gnueabi-nm u-boot |grep TEXT
c1080040 T _TEXT_BASE
$cat board/davinci/da8xxevm/config.mk |grep TEXT
TEXT_BASE = 0xC1080000
but I guess that's OK since _TEXT_BASE is a label at start.S:118 ...
I'm not sure if it is relevant but note that the da850 is a board for
which we have "#undef CONFIG_SKIP_RELOCATE_UBOOT"

In 2 and 3 r10 was 0xc10ae600; the System.map shows:
$cat System.map |grep got_base
c1080150 t relocate_got_base_r
c108017c t _got_base

My pleasure.
Just for the sake of details: without the removal of the
-msingle-pic-base I have the following register contents just before
'bl board_init_f' (start.S:219):
