the code was written by other people and is maintained out-of-uboot-tree 
in our public CVS.

After unpacking U-Boot 2009.08 these files are copied into the source 
tree: http://cvs.tuxbox.org/tuxbox/boot/u-boot-tuxbox/

Then this patch is applied
http://cvs.tuxbox.org/tuxbox/cdk/Patches/u-boot-2009.08.diff?view=markup

This is the board config used:
http://cvs.tuxbox.org/tuxbox/cdk/config/u-boot.dbox2.h.m4?view=markup

I do not know if the code meets U-Boot coding standards, but it works ;)
Adding the code to the U-Boot tree makes sense but I think I do not have 
the needed skills to support it in the future.

Ah, this is the message I was waiting for. After 2009.08 I did not follow 
the coding process due to lack of time so I am sure I missed something. 
Do you mean "[TESTING PATCH] ppc: Relocation test patch" from Sep 12th?
Btw, I am using gcc-3.4.6.

I?ll try this as well.
