However, I believe this is a temporary solution, is it possible to build the latest version of U-Boot without SWIG?

The dependencies are here:

https://u-boot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/build/gcc.html#dependencies

and swig is among them. It might be possible, but Binman is becoming
more common with the additional complexity of firmware images. Also we
are looking at reducing the number of SoC-specific build rules in
Makefile. What do you have against swig?

I do not know if this is related to me circumventing the issue above, but if I set CONFIG_PYLIBFDT=n on the command line when calling make, I proceed to get an include/ctype.h error, expected identifier or '(' before numeric constant. Is this a known issue in the boundary-v2022.04 branch? Or is this a repercussion of circumventing the SWIG/BINMAN issue above?

Which board are you building?
