[U-Boot-Users] Wierd assembler error

[Vandra Akos]

I am trying to build U-Boot 1.2.0 for a kb9202 board, but it gives a wierd assembler error:

akos at akosv:~/ARM/bootldr/u-boot-1.2.0$ make kb9202_config
Configuring for kb9202 board...

Try googling on it.  ARMs have certain rules about which constants
they can reference directly.  If you haven't changed any code in
start.S, yet it is still giving the error, see what constant it is
referencing.  Maybe you provided a constant in your board header file
that it is trying to use directly.
