[U-Boot] UBIFS fails on SheevaPlug

[Dimax]

Well so far no luck,
Actually I'm not sure how to start. But I will try to go on "with a little
help from my friends".

I)
The first question that raised is a compiler. I see two options:
1. Use the cross compiler - this is what more likely most of the people are
doing.
2. I wonder if I can use native compiler? I actually have a number of
running SheevaPlugs with gcc installed on them.
Do you think it will work?

II)
After extracting files I have following tree:

u-boot_2012.04.01-2_armel.deb
debian:
   README.Debian
   control
   env-configs/
   manpages/
   rules*
   targets
   changelog
   copyright
   lintian.overrides
   patches/
   source/
   watch
u-boot-2012.04.01

According to README all I have to do is to run
make NAME_config
The sheevaplug is listed in boards.cfg so there should be no problem to
make sheevaplug_config.

In this case I do not get what are the other two directory and file:
u-boot_2012.04.01-2_armel.deb
debian/

To my understanding debian/ is some port but I do not see any makefile
where. So not sure hot to use it?
