Well so far no luck, Actually I'm not sure how to start. But I will try to go on "with a little help from my friends".
I) The first question that raised is a compiler. I see two options: 1. Use the cross compiler - this is what more likely most of the people are doing. 2. I wonder if I can use native compiler? I actually have a number of running SheevaPlugs with gcc installed on them. Do you think it will work?
II) After extracting files I have following tree:
u-boot_2012.04.01-2_armel.deb debian: README.Debian control env-configs/ manpages/ rules* targets changelog copyright lintian.overrides patches/ source/ watch u-boot-2012.04.01
According to README all I have to do is to run make NAME_config The sheevaplug is listed in boards.cfg so there should be no problem to make sheevaplug_config.
In this case I do not get what are the other two directory and file: u-boot_2012.04.01-2_armel.deb debian/
To my understanding debian/ is some port but I do not see any makefile where. So not sure hot to use it?

HI guys. I'm sorry I had other jobs to do and did not have time to dig it. I have tried SheevaPlug port from http://people.debian.org/~tbm/u-boot/2012.04.01-2/ and it fails and gave me no error code. Not sure it is because of old version or error just did not happen.
I still keep a box with broken ubifs to try new u-boot on it. Is where any chance someone will help me to build a latest u-boot port for SheevaPlug?
well as said before, if the <u-boot-src>/README (section 'Building the Software') does not help you I could answer concrete questions.
Actually someone is doing it. I took latest version here: http://people.debian.org/~tbm/u-boot/2012.04.01-2/
So maybe can you ping Martin Michlmayr to release a new version?
Also can you tell me if this version has error printing patch or not?
Presumably not, it is in v2012.10.
