Hm... I don't see this problem here:

	-> git-checkout v2009.03
	-> ./MAKEALL MPC8315ERDB
	Configuring for MPC8315ERDB board...
	   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
	 265132   20616   33556  319304   4df48 ./u-boot
	-> BUILD_DIR=/work/wd/tmp-ppc ./MAKEALL MPC8315ERDB
	Configuring for MPC8315ERDB board...
	   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename

The problem? What *exactly* is your problem?

I don't see where this should matter? U-Boot does not reference files
from /usr/include. Also, I fail to under stand how a "Compiler error
with BUILD_DIR" should result from this - if this was a real problem,
it should definitely be independent from setting BUILD_DIR or not.

Perhaps you might be so kind as to elucidate.

Best regards,
