I am following these<https://xilinx-wiki.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/A/pages/18841973/Build+U-Boot> instructions to build u-boot file for my Zed Board. My computer is Mac, and the operating system is macOS mojave version 10.14.5. I have installed crosstool ng version 1.23.0 and arm-mac-linux-gnueabihf with gcc version 6.3.0. I have also installed DTC version 1.5.0. However, u-boot process fails when it's building spl. I have attached the log file of the terminal. Could you please let me know what step I am missing? I would really appreciate it.

Mac OS X uses MACH-O as the output format which U-Boot's internal 
conversion logic does not have support for. So no, building on Mac OS X 
is not supported today.

I can only second this. There are 2 easy ways to get a Linux environment 
quickly onto your Mac:

   1) Docker
   2) https://github.com/linux-noah/noah
