Could you give a more detailed description of your problems?
I had some problems finding working versions of gcc/binutils, but finally succeeded with binutils 2.13 and gcc 3.2.3.

Thanks so much for your quick reply. I was going to do some work on this board as well independently in attempt to see if I can't get the machine to boot from an ide HDD. I'll keep bugging you for the patches offline, but for the benefit of everyone else I'll elaborate a little more here:
Cross-compiling from x86 using: a custom built (crosstool) toolchain gcc3.3.2-glibc2.3.2-binutils-2.15; I get this error:
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/cjones/dev/boot/u-boot-1.1.1/post/cpu' mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -Wa,-gstabs -D__ASSEMBLY__ -g -Os -D__KERNEL__ -DTEXT_BASE=0xbfc00000 -I/home/cjones/dev/boot/u-boot-1.1.1/include -fno-builtin -ffreestanding -nostdinc -isystem /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.4/include -pipe -DCONFIG_MIPS -D__MIPS__ -mips32 -c -o cpu/mips/start.o /home/cjones/dev/boot/u-boot-1.1.1/cpu/mips/start.S /home/cjones/dev/boot/u-boot-1.1.1/cpu/mips/start.S: Assembler messages: /home/cjones/dev/boot/u-boot-1.1.1/cpu/mips/start.S:246: Error: Cannot branch to undefined symbol. /home/cjones/dev/boot/u-boot-1.1.1/cpu/mips/start.S:251: Error: Cannot branch to undefined symbol. /home/cjones/dev/boot/u-boot-1.1.1/cpu/mips/start.S:263: Error: Cannot branch to undefined symbol. make: *** [cpu/mips/start.o] Error 1
I've seen other people compiling for the Au1x00 series have this similar problem.
Not unsurprisingly while compiling natively with a similar toolchain: gcc-3.2.3,glibc-2.3.2,binutils-2.15 I get the same errors.
I know my toolchain is not BAD as I can perfectly build and execute the resulting kernel; however, it may not be compatible with they way things are done in u-boot.
Perhaps Wolfgang or the people at DENX could put some input into their toolchain version(s). I suppose I should just download it and check it out. But I would really like to be in control of my own toolchain.
Cheers,
