Thank you for your help; The problem is really the relocatable binary. I did not use freescale_mx53_smd_defconfig because I wanted to do it "may way" (which is wrong in this case). If I unset config options RELOCATABLE and PBL_RELOCATABLE (or unset PBL_IMAGE), the proper size value is written to the image.
