Hi wd,

I found the technique in u-boot and thought BOARDLIBS was the approved 
method.  Looks like it is a NAND thing.

$ grep -r BOARDLIBS *
board/prodrive/pdnb3/config.mk:BOARDLIBS = $(obj)cpu/ixp/npe/libnpe.a
board/nc650/config.mk:BOARDLIBS = $(obj)drivers/nand/libnand.a
board/ixdp425/config.mk:BOARDLIBS = $(obj)cpu/ixp/npe/libnpe.a
board/mpc8360emds/config.mk:BOARDLIBS = libfdt/libfdt.a
doc/README.nand:specific config.mk file should also have "BOARDLIBS =
doc/README.nand:necessary, but the config.mk should have "BOARDLIBS =
include/configs/delta.h:/* Use the new NAND code. (BOARDLIBS = 
drivers/nand/libnand.a required) */
include/configs/zylonite.h:/* Use the new NAND code. (BOARDLIBS = 
drivers/nand/libnand.a required) */
Makefile:LIBS += $(BOARDLIBS)

Not a problem, I'll revert back to wg's Makefile change.

Best regards,
