I just updated mx27ads support and added a defconfig file, so please do
a 'git pull'.

Sorry, documentation is a bit outdated here, the links do not work any
more. You have to specify architecture and cross compiler on the command
line:

ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/whereever/it/is/arm-..-gcc make mx27ads_defconfig
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/whereever/it/is/arm-..-gcc make menuconfig
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/whereever/it/is/arm-..-gcc make

This should give you a uboot.bin which you can try on your board. If you
already have a bootloader (redboot?) on your board which you want to
keep, it's best to start U-Boot from RAM first. Load it somewhere to RAM
and jump there (don't know how to do this with redboot though).

Regards,
