[U-Boot] Compiling U-BOOT bootloader on x86

[ravi tiwari]

Dear Wolfgang,

Thank you very much . I have taken the *recent code*. Still facing some
issues

I have followed following steps to compile it on x86.
1) make clean;
2) make coreboot-x86_config
3) ./MAKEALL -C x86

In step 3 i observed following:

ravitiwari at RAVI-HP-Pavilion-dv2000-GJ175PA-ACJ:~/u-boot-2013.04$ make clean
ravitiwari at RAVI-HP-Pavilion-dv2000-GJ175PA-ACJ:~/u-boot-2013.04$ make
coreboot-x86_config
Configuring for coreboot-x86 - Board: coreboot, Options:
SYS_TEXT_BASE=0x01110000

--------------------- SUMMARY ----------------------------
Boards compiled: 1
Boards with errors: 1 ( coreboot-x86 )
----------------------------------------------------------

If at present i am not targeting any embedded platform then why i need *cross
tool chain*? x86 tool chain (GCC compiler) is already there in my system.
