[U-Boot] Problem linking u-boot-2009.11.1 with arm_v5t_le-ld

[Andy Hawkins]

Hi all,

Trying to compile the latest u-boot (u-boot-2009.11.1) for the
davinci_dm6467evm, using a MontaVista toolset. We're getting the
following error at the end of the compilation process:

arm_v5t_le-ld: /bin/sh: line 1:  2424 Segmentation fault

make: *** [u-boot] Error 139

I found a message from back in June of 2004 about an issue with
binutils 2.15
(http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2004-June/005482.html), so I
removed the map file creation from the Makefile. However, this hasn't
helped.

Relevant versions:

arm_v5t_le-gcc --version
arm_v5t_le-gcc (GCC) 3.4.3 (MontaVista 3.4.3-25.0.104.0600975
2006-07-06)

arm_v5t_le-ld --version
GNU ld version 2.15.94 20041215

Using the same toolchain, I can successfully compile u-boot-1.2.0
using the davinci_dm646x configuration.

Can anyone offer any assistance?

Thanks

Andy

A segmentation fauls is always a severe error that should never
happen.

Please contact MontaVista technical support and ask for a fix for
their broken tools.

Or use free, working tools instead.

Best regards,
