          As your suggestion for me,Albert,I upgrade to
"fa82f871c8dbc9a15e8dc274b3f99dd5fa0da458" by Git.This is the latest
version i found on Git .And modified some places to make uboot buildable.
Now arm-linux-readelf has no longer warns "segmentation fault", but after
i burn u-boot.bin into flash,still nothing happened.I vim readelf.result
and i found the file type is "DYN (Shared object file)" not "executeable".
I try another cpu config such as smdk2410_config and b2_config,then
arm-linux-readelf ,but the results are the same "DYN (Shared object file)".
could you help me for explaining this.thx a lot.
          I prefer to sending you a patch and readelf details that i
generate with "git diff" and "arm-linux-readelf".
          I am a freshman with uboot.I found no book or something else
introduce uboot.Even has DULG,but sometimes it was really helpless for
me.Just like the problem i met ,i have no idea how to deal with.I
suppose something wrong with linking stage or my cross-compiler.
          Because of attachment size limitation,i compress patch with bzip2.
          Any suggestion is appreciated.Thanks a lot.

Best regards
larry
