SSounds as if your Makefile  is  corrupted.  Of  course  there  is  a
hello_world.srec target in it. Or your version of "make" is broken...

Me too. Works perfectly fine here:

-> ./MAKEALL ASH405       
Configuring for ASH405 board...
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 189384    9768   37456  236608   39c40 u-boot
->

No errors, no warnings.

Well, this is IMHO a toolchain problem. The  code  builds  fine  with
ELDK  3.x  (GC-3.3.3  /  binutils  2.14)  and  ELDK  4.x (GCC-4.0.0 /
binutils 2.16.1).

I think I reject your patch.

Best regards,
