I can confirm this problem, and it is relevant for arm only.
As far I can understand at the moment, it is due to the -pie settings in
arch/arm/config.mk.

However, it is not to me clear because -pie is added to PLATFORM_LDFLAGS
and not to LDFLAGS_u-boot. Also before the patch the -pie option is used
only for linking u-boot at the end of the build process and not for
partial linking. Probably does it come when we used libraries instead of
objects ?

Setting LDFLAGS_u-boot in arch/arm/config.mk to -pie and removing it
from PLATFORM_LDFLAGS removes the build error. Not yet tested, anyway.

Best regards,
Stefano Babic
