Which sort of build environment are you using?

Dear Wolfgang

  I am using arm-linux toolchain from www.handheld.org
arm-linux-3.3.2. It should be ok which i have tried to compile kernel
and other appz before.
  Actually, i am using motorola MXL arm9 CPU, and i just copy files in
board/mx1ads/ , include/mx1ads.h and patched the makefile. I do not
come up with any idea right now, may be i first look deeper what
autoscript first

bset regard

Well, this error message:

> > > "arm-linux-ld: invalid hex number `-u__u_boot_cmd_autoscr' "

comes from these lines in the top level Makefile:

u-boot:         depend $(SUBDIRS) $(OBJS) $(LIBS) $(LDSCRIPT)
                UNDEF_SYM=`$(OBJDUMP) -x $(LIBS) |sed  -n -e 's/.*\(__u_boot_cmd_.*\)/-u\1/p'|sort|uniq`;\    
                $(LD) $(LDFLAGS) $$UNDEF_SYM $(OBJS) \
                        --start-group $(LIBS) $(PLATFORM_LIBS) --end-group \
                        -Map u-boot.map -o u-boot

Seems either your "objdump" and/or your  "sed"  create  bogus  or  at
least  unexpected  output.  You  may  want to check the parts of this
pipeline step by step.

Best regards,

Dear Wolfgang 
   I have found the problem,.... i do not cp the config.mk from mx1ads
folder which define the linking address of u-boot in ram.
error come from no text_base value :
      arm-linux-ld -Bstatic -T board/rob/u-boot.lds -Ttext $UNDEF_SYM
after i add the config.mk back:
      arm-linux-ld -Bstatic -T board/rob/u-boot.lds -Ttext 0x08F00000 $UNDEF_SYM

  Thanks for anyone concerned
best regard
Mike,Lee
