Dear Wolfgang:
I believe that it is not setting any configuration information. In many boards the TEXT_BASE address is set up in the makefile depending if the user wants to compile u-boot for ram o for flash. Like the acadia (and many others)
@echo "TEXT_BASE = 0x01000000" > $(obj)board/amcc/acadia/config.tmp
I have no problem in setting the Makefile in the classic way, I just wanted to create a new way with the less code replication possible.
Shall I continue with this idea or I move back to the old way?
Regards

The Makefile is not the right place to provide configuration information. It shouls select a target board, and build it, nothing more.
All board specific configuration information should be kept in the board specific files only (please also keep in mind the next one who has to port Linux to a new board - config information should not be scattered over too many polaces, and especially no into common , central files).
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
