Is there any release note related to u-boot build problem for Android ICS 4.0.3 ?

I tried to build u-boot for beaglebone/EVM am335x and there is an error during linking phase:

arm-eabi-ld: error: u-boot.lds:36:24: OVERLAY section type is unsupported

Please ensure that you have the correct sources and are using the correct toolchain.

Refer to the Developer guide for more details http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TI-Android-ICS-4.0.3-DevKit-3.0.1_DevelopersGuide

I obtained the source code from gitorious.org using git. I don't use the pre-packaged sources.

I use the same toolchain that I have been used for Gingerbread.

Did any one try to build with the source obtained from gitorious.org without addtional modifications ?

Does your PATH point to gingerbread toolchain? Please ensure that it points to the ICS prebuilt toolchain path.

There default linker with the gingerbread arm-eabi- toolchain would not work well with the Am335x u-boot sources. You will notice that the AM335x gingerbread DevKit sources have a modified Makefile to take care of this issue.
