The movt/movw instruction can be used to hardcode an memory location in the instruction itself. The linker starts complaining about this if the compiler decides to do so: "relocation R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC against `a local symbol' can not be used" and it is not support by U-boot as well. Prevent their use by requiring word relocations. This allows u-boot to be build at other optimalization levels then -Os.
