I've added Tom for comments, executive summary:
- rk3188-tpl is size limited to 1020 bytes
- gcc 6.3 produces a rk3188-tpl of 792 bytes
- gcc 4.9 makes it 1020 bytes
- buildman seems to always use gcc-4.9
- rk3188 board does not compile with buildman


Isn't holding on to a pretty old compiler for everything somewhat
strange? ;-)


I think the recent memset change in commit
	c67c8c604b6c ("board_init.c: Always use memset()")
did hurt us the most sizewise, as we're now using the libgeneric memset
which is quite a bit bigger than the naive fallback that existed in
board_init.c before.

Reverting and using the naive memset again brings us down to 952 bytes
again even on gcc-4.9 .

I guess I could just remove the TPL_LIBGENERIC option again and provide
a similarly small/naive memset in the rk3188 tpl board?

################

Or maybe just check if the size limit in u-boot-spl.lds is actually correct.
In our example gcc-4.9 produces a 1020bytes result and the SPL_SIZE_LIMIT
is set to (0x400 - 0x4) = 1020, so of course doing

does look somewhat correct. But of course that rides way to much on the
edge when every additional byte will break the build.

Well it's not that old. 4.6 would be old. We do need to be careful not
to drop old toolchains too aggressively, although for new platforms
such as this is doesn't matter. I try to test with older things to
avoid problems applying things to mainline (with Tom's automated
tests, etc.)

wrt buildman using certain toolchains, it comes down to the order in
which it finds matches for a given arch and then it picks (and I don't
recall which off the top of my head) the first or last match.

I do agree that gcc-4.9 isn't something we can drop just yet (as for
example it's what'll be used in travis-ci today.  But it's getting
pretty long in the tooth and we will have to at some point say that
"platform X requires gcc-6.x or later" as we start running into hard
walls that are solved in 6.x.

Finally, I have no objection to adding TPL_USE_ARCH_MEMSET as an option
so that in cases like this it can be disabled due to space just as it is
on SPL.

The problem wasn't ARCH_MEMSET - which already was way outsize the size
constraints, but the general memset also being somewhat big, with its
slight speed optimizations.

But thanks to Simon's recent patches [0] we got a really nice size-
reduction on the Rock's TPL (from 1020 to 488 bytes) . So with these
we're really good with all toolchains now.
