[U-Boot-Users] MIPS, little endian, supported cross tool versions?

Hi all,

I'm trying to port U-Boot 1.0.0 to a new board containing a
MIPS 5Kf core. After adjusting the compiler flags / linker scripts
for little-endian, I run into these errors, compiling a RAM based version
first:

mipsel-uclibc-gcc -Wa,-gstabs -D__ASSEMBLY__ -g  -Os   -D__KERNEL__
-DTEXT_BASE=0x80100000 -I/opt/work/fw/bootloader/u-boot-1.0.0.work/include
-fno-builtin -ffreestanding -nostdinc -isystem
/opt/toolchains/toolchain_mipsel/lib/gcc-lib/mipsel-linux/3.3.1/include
-pipe  -DCONFIG_MIPS -D__MIPS__ -mips2 -EL -mabicalls -c -o start.o
/opt/work/fw/bootloader/u-boot-1.0.0.work/cpu/mips/start.S
mipsel-uclibc-gcc: unrecognized option `-EL'
/opt/work/fw/bootloader/u-boot-1.0.0.work/cpu/mips/start.S: Assembler
messages:

/opt/work/fw/bootloader/u-boot-1.0.0.work/cpu/mips/start.S:247: Error:

/opt/work/fw/bootloader/u-boot-1.0.0.work/cpu/mips/start.S:259: Error:

cross gcc version is 3.3.1, gas "2.1.4.90.0.5 20030722".

I couldn't find any hints on recommended tools for the MIPS port of U-Boot
in the docs.

Is my setup doomed to fail or may I get a working bootloader with some
reasonable effort?
(I may stick to my old bootloader as well)

TIA.
