[U-Boot] HOSTCC version

I have downloaded the code from the git using the command:

git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git

The errors that I see are now slightly different.  It is complaining that
endian.h and byteswap.h don't exist - and that appears to be correct for the
system that I have.  The error regarding 'uintptr_t' has been fixed based on
the patch from Jerry Van Baren but I still get an number of parse errors
regarding image.h.

Your thoughts and comments would be much appreciated.  Compiler output is
shown below.

Thanks and regards,

Andy.
