Three comments at least: 1. I personally would agree with the change to int, but since Wolfgang considers it a workaround to the linker issue, I won't accept it either. 2. IIRC, the linker emits a warning, not an error. We can live some time with a warning if it is documented and it is being worked on. 3. I did offer to try and find a minimal test case (one .c file, one .lds file, one simple command line) to cause the warning and submit it to the binutils list, but haven't had time so far. > Thanks > > Dirk Amicalement, -- Albert. _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list [email protected] http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
