Current cmd_link_o_target function in config.mk does not support the set
of the endian.

Some architecture is bi-endian (e.g. mips and sh).
Therefore, there is case supporting big endian and little endian
with one toolchain.
For example, when user builds target of big endian in host of little endian,
they need set endian.

i dont think we should start declaring random new variables with specific 
purposes.  better to split the "u-boot final" LDFLAGS out into their own 
variable (LDFLAGS_u-boot) and keep LDFLAGS as a "these are the flags that need 
to be used with $(LD)".

I agree. But....

cmd_link_o_target is not used in the last of u-boot  (u-boot final) .
But this is used in the middle of build.
For example, when we make libstubs.o in examples/standalone/Makefile.

: examples/standalone/Makefile
-----
 89
 90 all:    $(obj).depend $(OBJS) $(LIB) $(SREC) $(BIN) $(ELF)
 91
 92 #########################################################################
 93 $(LIB): $(obj).depend $(LIBOBJS)
 94     $(call cmd_link_o_target, $(LIBOBJS))
 95
 96 $(ELF):
-----

Therefore, I think that we have to add a new variable to this.

Best regards,
  Nobuhiro

no, we dont.  do as i suggested:
 - add $(LDFLAGS_$(@F)) to Makefile:GEN_UBOOT
 - move -T/-B flags from Makefile:LDFLAGS to Makefile:LDFLAGS_u-boot
 - move --gc-sections from LDFLAGS to LDFLAGS_u-boot in arch/*/config.mk
 - add $(LDFLAGS) to cmd_link_o_target

your patch doesnt scale to address all problems

OK, I understood your indication.
I will send new patch.

Thanks!
