Actually i got that u-boot version from our vendor. They ported u-boot  
to make it work  with the mba2440 board(s3c2440 processor) they are  
selling,  but they didn't submit it as patch, i guess that's why i  
have all files for that board and you don't in mainline.
I've downloaded u-boot-2011-12 and tried porting it to the mba 2440  
hardware by adding configuration options and files but i had errors  
when compiling with arm-linux-gcc cross compiler. I think i'll just  
try to fix the missing symbols problem using the old u-boot version
Regards
Yannick
