Building the Software:
======================
-Building U-Boot has been tested in native PPC environments (on a
-PowerBook G3 running LinuxPPC 2000) and in cross environments
-(running RedHat 6.x and 7.x Linux on x86, Solaris 2.6 on a SPARC, and
-NetBSD 1.5 on x86).
+Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
+and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
+all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
+(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
+recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
+which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
-If you are not using a native PPC environment, it is assumed that you
-have the GNU cross compiling tools available in your path and named
-with a prefix of "powerpc-linux-". If this is not the case, (e.g. if
-you are using Monta Vista's Hard Hat Linux CDK 1.2) you must change
-the definition of CROSS_COMPILE in Makefile. For HHL on a 4xx CPU,
-change it to:
+If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
