Anonymous strings are hardly a rare occurance. Plus, doing it on a case by cases invites breakage from people who don't/can't test the SPLs that are affected, when they add code that moves a certain file from being not-problematic to problematic. > i think this is a bug in the linker and have been > trying to make a reduced test case that i can post to the GNU binutils peeps. If and when they fix it, and the updated toolchains are in sufficiently wide use that we can stop supporting the old ones (at least for small SPL targets), we can revisit the decision. -Scott _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
