That's most likely a different problem. It's not a problem of the U-Boot 
common networking code, but the chip specific ethernet driver.

Hmmm. When a problem disappears upon changing the optimization options, that's 
not a good sign.

As you already mentioned, that's only a workaround. Did you try a recent 
version of U-Boot?
