Your tool chain is broken / generates inefcient code. Top of tree: -> git describe v2011.09-1259-g7708d8b -> eldk-switch -r 4.2 ppc_8xx Setup for ppc_8xx (using ELDK 4.2) -> ${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc -v ... gcc version 4.2.2 -> ./MAKEALL TQM860L Configuring for TQM860L board... text data bss dec hex filename 261815 14100 27240 303155 4a033 ./u-boot --------------------- SUMMARY ---------------------------- Boards compiled: 1 ---------------------------------------------------------- -> eldk-switch -r 5.1 powerpc Setup for powerpc (using ELDK 5.1) -> ${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc -v ... gcc version 4.6.1 20110627 (prerelease) (GCC) -> ./MAKEALL TQM860L Configuring for TQM860L board... text data bss dec hex filename 256410 4444 27212 288066 46542 ./u-boot --------------------- SUMMARY ---------------------------- Boards compiled: 1 ---------------------------------------------------------- So both older tool chains (GCC 4.2.2) and more recent ones (gcc 6.6.1) build top of tree fine. I save the efforts of building v2010.12 because I already did as part of the QA for that release. Get yourself a working tool chain.
