I took the advice and tried fresh u-boot. I pulled latest u-boot-ixp from GIT and modified the include/configs/ixdp425.h file so that it would match my current one on those parts that has something to do with the hardware. That's only file I modified.
OK.
Then I gave commands:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=armeb-unknown-linux-gnu- ixpd425_config
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=armeb-unknown-linux-gnu-
The latter command stopped to error:
make -C cpu/ixp/npe/

Yes, that's expected. Unfortunately not documented. Sorry.
I checked and that file is missing so I'm guessing here comes the part where I need the Intel library?
Right.
I tried to search for instructions what to do, but I couldn't find any and I vaguely remember someone telling that there isn't at least for ixp. This is first time I'm trying to get the U-boot to work from the scratch so (detailed) instructions would help a lot.
You have to download the NPE microcode binary (exactly this missing file from the Intel download site). Here a link for the newest microcode (I have *not* tested with this microcode version):

Could be that you have to register to access this file though.
