i'm sure someone will yell at me for this question as well, but where does one find "eldk-switch"? i have a fully updated git clone of uboot and there is no such script (which is what i assume i'm looking for).
eldk-switch is internally used script, it is not distributed with U-Boot since its purpose is to configure environment in preparation for building using desired ELDK version.
You don't need this script. You can setup environment i. e. by running
$ export ARCH=powerpc $ export CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- $ export PATH=<your-eldk-root-dir>/usr/bin:$PATH
To check if the environment is set correctly you can try to run installed cross gcc, i.e. run:
${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc -v
More info is available in ELDK documentation, i. e. [1]
um, my understanding for the need of that script (or its equivalent, which i assume is just to switch to the git 4.2 branch), is to avoid this issue:
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/eldk/2011-November/002052.html
which is *precisely* what i ran into, so i'm assuming i need to back off to v4.2. unless that issue has been addressed already in the ELDK toolchain development branch but i didn't see any git commit that referred to it.
