BTW, I doubt removing --gc-sections for PLATFORM_FLAGS by patch
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2011-January/084705.html may have
the risk of building failure for nand_spl, as we encountered the message
"NAND bootstrap too big" before

For example, the size for MPC8572DS_NAND_config before applying patch:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   3320     520       0    3840     f00 nand_spl/u-boot-spl

After applying that patch:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   3476     520       0    3996     f9c nand_spl/u-boot-spl

Once 8572 support is getting bigger as that in BSP, the error message
will be triggered.
