Android's tool chain enable the -mandroid at default. This option will enable the -fpic, which cause uboot compilation failure: " LD u-boot u-boot contains unexpected relocations: R_ARM_ABS32 R_ARM_RELATIVE "
In my testcase, arm-linux-androideabi-gcc-4.9 internally enables '-fpic', so when compiling code, there will be relocation entries using type R_ARM_GOT_BREL and .got section. When linking all the built-in.o using ld, there will be R_ARM_ABS32 relocation entry and .got section in the final u-boot elf image. This can not be handled by u-boot, since u-boot only expects R_ARM_RELATIVE relocation entry. arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc-4.9 default does not enable '-fpic', so there is not .got section and R_ARM_GOT_BREL in built-in.o. And in the final u-boot elf image, all relocation entries are R_ARM_RELATIVE. we can pass '-fno-pic' to xxx-gcc to disable pic. whether the toolchain internally enables or disables pic, '-fno-pic' can work well.
