I don't know about NAND, but I had problems building KB9202B with
the CodeSourcery ARM EABI toolchain, too, solved like that:

I'm confused to see that the toplevel Makefile has

  # Add GCC lib
  PLATFORM_LIBS += -L $(shell dirname `$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -print-libgcc-file-name`) -lgcc

but then there are also libgcc replacement functions in lib_arm/.


Could someone knowledgable please fill me in what the goal is?

a) use libgcc and then work around issues like missing raise()
   and maybe also link libgcc_eh.a

b) don't use libgcc, provide necessary functions in lib_<arch>
   (like the Linux kernel does)

I'd be happy to cook up a corrected patch for KB9202B EABI toolchain
build support if I get some guidelines about what would be
acceptable for u-boot mainline.


Thanks,
Johannes
