[U-Boot-Users] NAND-based env fails CRC

[lokowich]

I'm successfully booting from NAND flash on the DaVinci EVM, but my 
environment variables fail the CRC.  I get the correct CRC when 
executing the crc32 command on the relocated memory.  This problem 
doesn't occur when running same version (U-Boot-1.3.1) with the 
MontaVista (EABI GCC 3.4.3) tools rather than ELDK 4.1 (GCC 4.0).  Seems 
it may stem from the calling interface (EABI vs. ABI?), but casting 
parameters to crc32 in env_nand gives some peculiar results. I'll keep 
digging, but any help would be appreciated.

It's IMHO more likely that GCC 4.x has better optimization and
triggers a bug in the code like a missing "volativle" resp. missing or
incorrect use of accessor functions.

It may be worth to try and run latest code...
