You mention "u-boot on x86" in the subjct - are you aware that the
Canyonlands board is not x86, but PPC?

What you should do is:

	make distclean
	make canyonlands_config
	make all

Do not try to perform all there steps in a single call to make - this
cannot work.

This is caused by your incorrect call to make - see above.

Please read the manual - it describes step by step what to do.
If you had follwed the examples, aboveerror could have been avoided.
