This is due to a much-discussed 'make' problem with version 3.81+.
U-boot patches have been submitted, rejected and possibly on the way to
being included (I can't remember Wolfgang's current take on this).  If
you don't need the examples, the quick fix for now is to delete the line
'examples \' from the SUBDIRS list in the root Makefile.  If you search
the e-mail archives you'll find patches that will fix the problem more
'properly'.  Alternatively, revert to make v3.80 that is included in
Sarge.
