[U-Boot] still an issue ?? - Can't get strong symbol to override weak one

[Joachim Rahn]

Hi all,

I've ported u-boot to our ARM board based on at91sam9263.

When I try to use the LED functions I have problems getting
strong symbols overriden by weak ones.

I'm just stumbling upon the archive entries
	http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2008-June/035540.html
and
	http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2008-July/037619.html

Seems I have exact that problem.
Has this been solved?

Any hints how I should proceed to stay compatible with u-boot?

Cheers,
Joachim

This issue is solved by this patch:

    http://www.denx.de/wiki/pub/U-Boot/TooBigPatches/0001-Switch-from-archive-libraries-to-partial-linking-v4.patch

Here is the relevant thread from the mailing list:

    http://www.mail-archive.com/u-boot at lists.denx.de/msg41959.html

Note that the patch has not yet made it into U-Boot and may change again
before it is accepted.

Dear Sebastian,

thanks for the fast response!

O.k. so I will use my small local workaround until your proposed
patch is accepted and included in the official source tree.

Best regards,
Joachim
