Hi Everyone,
The patch below fixes the autoconf_is_current function in the u-boot build system in the event that the file timestamps are identical. This situation tends to occur when building u-boot on an EXT3 filesystem which has 1 second resolution for timestamps. In our case, the failure resulted in the following message from the build system:
Your architecture does not support generic board. Please undefine CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD in your board config file.
Thanks, Matthew Gerlach
