If we define USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC, PLATFORM_LIBS is used during
link. During this last link editing, libgcc may be listed twice
and fail.
Prevent this using "filter-out" in top Makefile.

could you please provide more details ?  libgcc should not be listed twice.

I compile current u-boot with the flowing command line:
make -j5 CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC=yes at91sam9m10g45ek_nandflash 

On an Ubuntu 11.10 with Linaro's cross-toolchain (targeting ARMv7). My SoC is an ARM926 so I use the "USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC=yes" switch. This will prevent the build to take libgcc from my host but compile the u-boot embedded libgcc: everything is fine, good feature.

But, here is the final link editing stage:

And you see that there is arch/arm/lib/libgcc.o included twice in object files that have to be linked together. I think that it is coming from the PLATFORM_LIBS variable so I modified like in my patch which solves the problem.

the issue shows up when using the board shortcut, and only when your tree is 
already configured.  if you use at91sam9m10g45ek_nandflash_config and then 
another make, it works fine.  if you start from a clean tree (git clean -x -d), 
it works fine.

this is due to PLATFORM_LIBS appending PLATFORM_LIBGCC when the tree has been 
configured, then exporting PLATFORM_LIBS, then the board shortcut running 
$(MAKE).  the exported PLATFORM_LIBS gets LIBGCC appended a second time.

this issue will show up with any value that gets appended to PLATFORM_LIBS and 
not just libgcc.  the arm code already hits this and deals with it locally.  
seems like we should instead unify this logic, or redo PLATFORM_LIBS so that 
it isn't an issue in the first place.

Ah thanks for the information. Indeed it is a more common way of using
the configuration/compilation flow...

Yes, that it a bit confusing... But with proper explanation, we can deal
with this.

Thanks for your help, best regards,
