May I ask why you decided to switch from an ancient to a very old
version, and not to a current one?

U-Boot 1.3.4 is more than a year old. Current release is v2009.08

Also, GCC 3.4.x is very, very old.

Why are you not using a recent tool chain?

I don't know what you are doing, buyt I can teel you that U-Boot
releases 1.3.4 and 2009.08 build fine in all our tests;
we used ELDK 3.1.1 (gcc 3.3.3) through ELDK 4.2 (gcc 4.2.2) for this.

If you have problems, then you either must be doing something wrong,
oryour tool chain is broken - but you don't provide enough information
for any diagnosis of the actual problem.

Best regards,
