I recall it was meant to be a workaround for a linker bug, I think 
involving an empty extras.o in an eCos configuration rather than redboot. 
I don't have tx49 tools to test, but Andy may want to try it with the 
aberration removed and with an eCos configuration without CYGPKG_IO to 
make an "empty" extras.o to see if this has since been fixed.
