1.1.3 is pretty old. Please use current code.

I cannot confirm this:

-> cd /tmp
-> tar jxf /opt/tarballs/u-boot-1.1.3.tar.bz2 
-> cd u-boot-1.1.3/
-> export CROSS_COMPILE=mips_4KC-
-> MAKEALL dbau1500
Configuring for dbau1x00 board...

I get the same results using the older ELDK 3.1, i. e.:

This does not look like an error message issued by ELDK 3.x tools.
