I've just tested this, and it works fine for me using the following commands:

make -j4 CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnu- Ippo_q8h_v1_2_felconfig

Note the _felconfig rather then _defconfig at the end !

And then:

make -j4 CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnu-

sudo ~hans/bin/fel write 0x2000 spl/u-boot-spl.bin
sudo ~hans/bin/fel exe 0x2000
sleep 0.5
sudo ~hans/bin/fel write 0x4a000000 u-boot.bin
sudo ~hans/bin/fel exe 0x4a000000
