Hello,

AXM is currently the only board failing 'buildman arm aarch64':

+arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-ld.bfd: SPL image too big
+make[2]: *** [spl/u-boot-spl] Error 1
+make[1]: *** [spl/u-boot-spl] Error 2
+make: *** [sub-make] Error 2

Apparently SPL is already being built in Thumb instruction set, so no
way to gain anything that way.

I know, it was tricky to get SPL into 4k ...

What else can we do to get SPL size back under limit?

Hmm.. what is your exact toolchain?

I tested with the buildman-fetched gcc, -v gives 'gcc version 4.9.0
(GCC)'.

I've deleted the toolchain and re-fetched it again through buildman in
case there was an issue with the install, and am getting the same
result.

I've also tested with the latest ARM gcc package available with Ubuntu,
that is, 'gcc version 5.2.1 20151010 (Ubuntu 5.2.1-22ubuntu1)', again
with the same result.

I see for the axm board:

With eldk-5.4
pollux:u-boot-smartweb hs [master] $ arm-linux-gnueabi-size u-boot
     text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   212583   23792   23552  259927   3f757 u-boot
pollux:u-boot-smartweb hs [master] $ arm-linux-gnueabi-size spl/u-boot-spl
     text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
    14568    1212    1140   16920    4218 spl/u-boot-spl
pollux:u-boot-smartweb hs [master] $

Confirmed right now that with eldk 5.4's gcc 4.7.2 axm builds fine.

With eldk-5.5
pollux:u-boot-smartweb hs [master] $ arm-linux-gnueabi-size u-boot
     text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   210690   23672   23556  257918   3ef7e u-boot
pollux:u-boot-smartweb hs [master] $ arm-linux-gnueabi-size spl/u-boot-spl
     text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
    14472    1212    1140   16824    41b8 spl/u-boot-spl
pollux:u-boot-smartweb hs [master] $

Confirmed right now that with eldk 5.5's (or 5.5.3's) gcc 4.8.1 axm
builds fine.

The issue appears with gcc 4.9 and 5.2.1 (and I suspect any version
between 4.9 and 5.2.1 and beyond 5.2.1)

Yes :-(

Tested with linaro 5.2 using:
hs@localhost:u-boot  [master] $ arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc --version
arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc (crosstool-NG 1.21.0) 5.2.1 20151005
Copyright (C) 2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.  There is NO

hs@localhost:u-boot  [master] $

and size is:
hs@localhost:u-boot  [master] $ arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-size spl/u-boot-spl
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  14734    1212    1140   17086    42be spl/u-boot-spl
hs@localhost:u-boot  [master] $

aprox 0x100 bigger than with eldk-5.5 ... :-(

But I have only 16k sram on at91sam9g20 ... Ok, there are 2 such
areas, but between them is a hole :-( damn...

Adding Andreas to cc, may he has an idea?

Do gcc 4.9 need other settings for optimizing code?

bye,
Heiko
