Well, I also got confused by this, but went through Wolfgangs exercise
program. The top-level Makefile treats USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC like this:
# Add GCC lib
ifdef USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC
ifeq ("$(USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC)", "yes")
PLATFORM_LIBGCC = -L $(OBJTREE)/lib_$(ARCH) -lgcc
else
PLATFORM_LIBGCC = -L $(USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC) -lgcc
endif
else
PLATFORM_LIBGCC = -L $(shell dirname `$(CC) $(CFLAGS)
-print-libgcc-file-name`) -lgcc
endif
PLATFORM_LIBS += $(PLATFORM_LIBGCC)
export PLATFORM_LIBS
and in this case, since USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC is defined, but is not
"yes", we will use it to set the linker search path. And indeed, it
tries to link with
arm-unknown-linux-gnu-ld -Bstatic -T u-boot.lds [...] -L no -lgcc -Map
u-boot.map -o u-boot
which ... will fail.
