Indeed, it seems I missed that one.
Now I could compile U-boot without any issues, the only problem that
it is still not running on my mini2440. I compiled it with 3 different
versions of CodeBench chains and now with DENX ELDK, but still could
not get it work. But this will be another issue I need to find out.

Thanks for the help!

Best regards,
Peter
