[U-Boot-Users] latest-git, mpc8540 targets: ld: u-boot: section `.bootpg' can't be allocated in segment 1

Hi There!

I just checked out the latest u-boot git HEAD and did a

$ make PM854_config
or a
$ make TQM8540_config
followed by a
$ make all
using binutils-2.18, gcc-4.2.1, kernel 2.6.21 on a native mpc8540 environment.

but linking fails close to the end:

Both of the above MPC8540 targets fail here. I searched the archives
already, but didn't get any idea. Any hints? I'll try v1.3.0-rc1 next.

Thank you,
