Functions aren't being dropped out either.
To be clear, https://github.com/trini/u-boot/commit/3a7c313125eff000ac73e38d220e5f9615c1abbe shows switching everything to the normal nand codebase, but with a gain of only 170 bytes. The reason it's such an otherwise small delta is that I added some #ifndef CONFIG_SPL_BUILD to drop out unused code that the linker should have been dropping for us, but wasn't. -- Tom _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
