When I'm compiling the current master with gcc 4.3.5 (using binutils 
2.20.1) u.boot currently works (at least it loads and starts the kernel 
from mmc).
But I assume that is just some lucky condition because 4.3.5 does some 
things different than 4.5.1 which causes some sill existent bugs to not 
appear.

Browsing the source to search those problems (which arise when I'm using 
gcc 4.5.1) is just some freetime activity I'm doing when I feel bored, 
without spending much time. For actually working on those problems I 
would have to build a TI<->ARM JTAG cable, which is still on my list of 
low priority todos. ;)

Regards,

Alexander
