[U-Boot] Build error with the master branch

[Jason Liu]

Hi, There,

I met an error when building on the latest master branch of uboot, the
error as the following,

I found this error is related with the following commit:

commit 8aba9dceebb14144e07d19593111ee3a999c37fc

Are you aware of that?

 I've noticed the same thing, this seems to break all ARM configs for
 me

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

-pie is used to generate the ARM ELF relocation tables in U-Boot, and 
should indeed be used only for the final stage linking; so moving it to 
LDFLAGS_u-boot is sensible.
