Wolfgang posted a couple days ago that you can't build the latest U-Boot 
with old gcc tools. Perhaps you're not really using the latest compiler 
when you rebuild U-Boot? I see you have the latest toolchain, so make sure 
that your PATH is set up to actually use those new tools and U-Boot will 
build fine.
