Ok, let see if they have something newer.

At the moment, the mx51evk is not yet ported to the last u-boot release,
where relocation takes place even for ARM - so you get an error if you
try to compile with the last release. I have not a board at the moment,
but I think I can have it for some time very soon to make the required
changes. No surprise if (as other ARM based boards) if the imx51evk does
not compile at the moment.

Patches will be sent, as usual, to the ML for review. Then everyone can
take them and, if it is possible, test them and send feedback.
