There are several configurations for the at91sam9261ek board
supported in recent U-Boot. Please look again.

You must not trry to compile single files, because you most likely
don't get the required options right. Just add these features into
your board configuration.

Don't do this. Instead, just add CONFIG_CMD_FAT to your board config
file, usualklky include/configs/<name>.h

Then run "make <name>_config" and "make all"
