From 91b86e21564de01c0e3deafc72702897993d63ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marek Vasut Date: Thu, 26 May 2016 18:01:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] lib: Enable private libgcc by default This patch decouples U-Boot binary from the toolchain on systems where private libgcc is available. Instead of pulling in functions provided by the libgcc from the toolchain, U-Boot will use it's own set of libgcc functions. These functions are usually imported from Linux kernel, which also uses it's own libgcc functions instead of the ones provided by the toolchain. This patch solves a rather common problem. The toolchain can usually generate code for many variants of target architecture and often even different endianness. The libgcc on the other hand is usually compiled for one particular configuration and the functions provided by it may or may not be suited for use in U-Boot. This can manifest in two ways, either the U-Boot fails to compile altogether and linker will complain or, in the much worse case, the resulting U-Boot will build, but will misbehave in very subtle and hard to debug ways.
