Before sending the patch, you must run the MAKEALL script on your patched source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported for any of the boards. Well, at least not any more warnings than without your patch.
It is strongly recommended to verify that out-of-tree building (with "-O" make option resp. "BUILD_DIR" environment variable) is still working. For example, run:
$ BUILD_DIR=/tmp/u-boot-build ./MAKEALL
Why is nobody doing this?
because MAKEALL is a pita to use. it has no automatic CROSS_COMPILE support, and the current logic only allows one-CROSS_COMPILE-setting-per-run. so you have to run MAKEALL by hand once per arch.
the documentation you quote only shows running MAKEALL for powerpc (since that's the default), so even the docs are a bit unclear.
ideally, MAKEALL should be intelligent and automatically find an appropriate toolchain if one isn't setup in the env. much like the buildall script i posted recently.
Yes I think this is along the right track. I tried MAKEALL a long time ago and it didn't work (just got an error about incorrect architecture) so I assumed it was broken. Apart from full docs, it would be good to have a place to download all the toolchains needed for MAKEALL.
