[U-Boot] Compiling U-BOOT bootloader on x86
I have download and extracted u-boot-1.1.6 on Linux ubuntu. I just want to compile the source code using GCC(not targeting cross compilation for any embedded platform).
I tried running provided MAKEALL makefile but "powerpc-linux-gcc : Not Found" is happening.
My understanding is irrespective of platform the source code should compile.
What are the necessary makefile and environment changes i need to do for compilation on x86?

First: U-Boot 1.1.6 is prehistoric (more than 7 years old). If you intend to do anything with U-Boot, then please use recent code.

Your understanding is incomplete / incorrect.

No changes are needed, but dependingon which exact target board you are compiling for, you will need a cross tool chain for the respective target architecture.

Dear Wolfgang,
Thank you very much . I have taken the *recent code*. Still facing some issues
I have followed following steps to compile it on x86. 1) make clean; 2) make coreboot-x86_config 3) ./MAKEALL -C x86
In step 3 i observed following:
ravitiwari@RAVI-HP-Pavilion-dv2000-GJ175PA-ACJ:~/u-boot-2013.04$ make clean ravitiwari@RAVI-HP-Pavilion-dv2000-GJ175PA-ACJ:~/u-boot-2013.04$ make coreboot-x86_config Configuring for coreboot-x86 - Board: coreboot, Options: SYS_TEXT_BASE=0x01110000 ravitiwari@RAVI-HP-Pavilion-dv2000-GJ175PA-ACJ:~/u-boot-2013.04$ ./MAKEALL -C x86 Configuring for coreboot-x86 - Board: coreboot, Options: SYS_TEXT_BASE=0x01110000 make[1]: *** [interrupts.o] Error 127 make: *** [arch/x86/cpu/libx86.o] Error 2 make[1]: *** [coreboot.o] Error 127 make: *** [arch/x86/cpu/coreboot/libcoreboot.o] Error 2 make[1]: *** [bootm.o] Error 127 make: *** [arch/x86/lib/libx86.o] Error 2 size: './u-boot': No such file /bin/bash: sparse: command not found make[1]: *** [interrupts.o] Error 127 make: *** [arch/x86/cpu/libx86.o] Error 2 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... /bin/bash: sparse: command not found make[1]: *** [coreboot.o] Error 127 make: *** [arch/x86/cpu/coreboot/libcoreboot.o] Error 2 /bin/bash: sparse: command not found make[1]: *** [bootm.o] Error 127 make: *** [arch/x86/lib/libx86.o] Error 2 make: INTERNAL: Exiting with 4 jobserver tokens available; should be 3!
--------------------- SUMMARY ---------------------------- Boards compiled: 1 Boards with errors: 1 ( coreboot-x86 ) ----------------------------------------------------------
If at present i am not targeting any embedded platform then why i need *cross tool chain*? x86 tool chain (GCC compiler) is already there in my system.

This makes no sense. "MAKEALL" will as first thing run "make mrproper", which makes 1) redundant and undoes 2). If you want to compile for "coreboot-x86", then only "./MAKEALL coreboot-x86" is needed.
Configuring for coreboot-x86 - Board: coreboot, Options: SYS_TEXT_BASE=0x01110000 make[1]: *** [interrupts.o] Error 127 make: *** [arch/x86/cpu/libx86.o] Error 2
I recommend to run plain "make" so you can see the actual error messages. Otherwise, check the log files in the LOG directory.
/bin/bash: sparse: command not found
In any case, it seems you should install "sparse".
