I would be surprised if that were the case -- it would indicate that
u-boot doesn't use the appropriate arguments to ensure a free-standing
compile and link, and I think that would show up in more cases than
this.  I compiled using the stable release of Angstrom (and thus gcc
4.3), and that u-boot-overo.bin worked.  I'll start an
eglibc/angstrom-2010.x rebuild and test that when I get back to the
office on Monday.  If that fails, I'll try building u-boot with gcc
4.3 but use the rest of the uclibc/angstrom-2010.x environment to see
what happens.
