I found my problem.
My board, though based on walnut board, does not have real time clock. So, I have to disable RTC support in u-boot. However, as soon as I comment out
#define CONFIG_RTC_DS174x 1 /* use DS1743 RTC in Walnut */
in walnut.h, line 68, I get build error.
[root@new-linuxdev u-boot-2011.06]# ./MAKEALL walnut Configuring for walnut board... ppc_4xx-ld:u-boot.lds:1: ignoring invalid character `#' in expression ppc_4xx-ld:u-boot.lds:1: parse error make: *** [u-boot] Error 1 ppc_4xx-size: './u-boot': No such file

I can figure my way out if it's a code problem. This, however, seems like a configuration issue and I'm still a newbie when it comes to u-boot configuration issue. It seems to have changed a lot since last time I looked at u-boot a few years ago.
I'd appreciate some guidance.
Thank you in advance for any help and thank you all for putting such wonderful software in public domain.

Thanks for the reply. I was in the process updating ELDK from 4.1 to 4.2 and must have had something screwed up. I tried again Today and it compiles without error.
Thanks for looking into this and helping a newbie.

Hi, I'm currently working on updating the firmware on our custom board (based on IBM walnut board) and tried to build the latest released u-boot 2011.06 using ELDK4.2. Using the fresh source code extracted from u-boot-2011.06.tar.bz2, I did "make walnut_config" and then "make". But I get the following error.
ppc_4xx-ld:u-boot.lds:1: parse error make: *** [u-boot] Error 1
All of the code compiles. I think it's a linker error but I have no idea how to resolve the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

There is no such problem with walnut board in the v2011.06 release. Please double-check our source.
