Normally you should be able to just type "make uImage" here.

You are sure that 0x10000000 is the  correct  load  and  entry  point
addresses?

This CANNOT work. You cannot download the image to the  same  address
range where U-Boot is supposed to uncompress and copy the code to!

I recommend that (1) you verify that your image on the host system is
OK by running "mkimage -l uImage.cc", and (2)  you  verify  that  the
downloaded image is still ok by running "iminfo".

Actually I would prefer if you had just copy & pasted the real  input
and output from your console.

U-Boot does not even attempt to start Linux so your bootargs settings
don;t play any role here.
