the cross-compiler used to create u-boot has no guarantee that it'll produce executables useful for the target OS. often this isnt the case. HOSTCC
Really? You mean, you need different tool chains to build U-Boot, the Linux kernel or user space applications? Frankly, I consider those tool chains broken.
Sounds like somethings broken to me as well. I've always used the same toolchain for U-Boot, Kernel, Atmel bootstrap, and user-space stuff (vis buildroot).
The only think I use a separate toolchain for are Atmel's "applets" that are part of the SAM-BA utility -- and that's only because I'm too lazy to fix Atmel's Makefiles so they call the compiler with the proper flags.
