Okay. Building with 2.28 (and letting it fail), then repeating the final link step with 2.27 succeeds! $ arm-oe-linux-gnueabi-ld.bfd -v GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.27.0.20160806 $ arm-oe-linux-gnueabi-ld.bfd -pie --gc-sections -Bstatic -Ttext 0x00000000 -o u-boot \ -T u-boot.lds arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.o --start-group arch/arm/cpu/built-in.o \ arch/arm/cpu/armv7/built-in.o arch/arm/lib/built-in.o arch/arm/mach-rockchip/built-in.o \ board/firefly/firefly-rk3288/built-in.o cmd/built-in.o common/built-in.o disk/built-in.o \ drivers/built-in.o drivers/dma/built-in.o drivers/gpio/built-in.o drivers/i2c/built-in.o \ drivers/mmc/built-in.o drivers/mtd/built-in.o drivers/mtd/onenand/built-in.o \ drivers/mtd/spi/built-in.o drivers/net/built-in.o drivers/net/phy/built-in.o \ drivers/pci/built-in.o drivers/power/built-in.o drivers/power/battery/built-in.o \ drivers/power/domain/built-in.o drivers/power/fuel_gauge/built-in.o drivers/power/mfd/built-in.o \ drivers/power/pmic/built-in.o drivers/power/regulator/built-in.o drivers/serial/built-in.o \ drivers/spi/built-in.o drivers/usb/common/built-in.o drivers/usb/dwc3/built-in.o \ drivers/usb/emul/built-in.o drivers/usb/eth/built-in.o drivers/usb/gadget/built-in.o \ drivers/usb/gadget/udc/built-in.o drivers/usb/host/built-in.o drivers/usb/musb-new/built-in.o \ drivers/usb/musb/built-in.o drivers/usb/phy/built-in.o drivers/usb/ulpi/built-in.o fs/built-in.o \ lib/built-in.o net/built-in.o test/built-in.o test/dm/built-in.o --end-group \ arch/arm/lib/eabi_compat.o arch/arm/lib/lib.a -Map u-boot.map $ echo $? 0 Looking at the top couple lines of a diff between the map files of a binutils-2.27 build and this frankenbuild (both with SPL, neither with -N) gives: --- 2.27-without-N/u-boot.map 2017-03-08 13:26:26.966147350 -0500 +++ build-with-2.28-link-with-2.27/u-boot.map 2017-03-08 23:48:43.593173398 -0500 @@ -5442,7 +5442,7 @@ .iplt 0x00000000000301a4 0x0 arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.o 0x00000000000301a4 . = ALIGN (0x4) -.rodata 0x00000000000301a8 0x134dc +.rodata 0x00000000000301a8 0x134b8 *(SORT(.rodata*)) .rodata.efi_boot_services 0x00000000000301a8 0xc8 lib/built-in.o @@ -5859,4836 +5859,4836 @@ .rodata.cb_erase.str1.1 0x0000000000033745 0x60 drivers/usb/gadget/built-in.o .rodata.cb_getvar.str1.1 - 0x00000000000337a5 0xfc drivers/usb/gadget/built-in.o - 0x10c (size before relaxing) + 0x00000000000337a5 0xea drivers/usb/gadget/built-in.o + 0xfa (size before relaxing) .rodata.cb_oem.str1.1 - 0x00000000000338a1 0x4e drivers/usb/gadget/built-in.o + 0x000000000003388f 0x4e drivers/usb/gadget/built-in.o 0x5c (size before relaxing) [...snip!...] -.gnu 0x0000000000052680 0x0 +.gnu 0x0000000000052658 0x0 *(.gnu*) .gnu.version_d - 0x0000000000052680 0x0 arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.o - .gnu.version 0x0000000000052680 0x0 arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.o + 0x0000000000052658 0x0 arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.o + .gnu.version 0x0000000000052658 0x0 arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.o .gnu.version_r - 0x0000000000052680 0x0 arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.o + 0x0000000000052658 0x0 arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.o .ARM.exidx *(.ARM.exidx*) Everything after the first difference just appears to be the remainder of the addresses off by those couple bytes.
