GCC 3.4 is not supported yet.

This doesn't look like what I'd expect (but I tried the current code only).

This is completely wrong here.

I recommend: rety the build after runnin "make mrproper" first.

If this fails, then try using the current versionof  U-Boot  (top  of
tree in CVS).

If this still fails, then try using a  known-to-be-working  toolchain
(like ELDK 3.1.1).
