Yes, sorry, I've useed not up-to-date version of metadata and missed 
this fix. But it has to be '-O2' still.

Well, the difference here is that on PowerPC we have -Os option disabled 
completely. Wolfgang tried to summarize know gcc bugs and seems like -Os 
bugs on ARM and PowerPC have different nature (it looks like bugs on ARM 
are already fixed while on the ones PowerPC are not).
Then I think it's a bad idea to remove -Os everywhere: U-Boot really 
wants to be built with -Os optimization so we might want to change 
optimization level to -O2 only for targets where it's absolutely 
required. Actually I was able to build and successfully run U-Boot on 
beagleboard with -Os so it doesn't look like it's completely broken on ARM.

Regards, Ilya.
