Sorry to keep relying to my self.
It seems that the tool that generates u-boot.lds does not like // in the header file and putting it in the u-boot.lds file.

I started using /* */ instead and it compiles OK now.

Thanks.

I found my problem.

My board, though based on walnut board, does not have real time clock. So, I have to disable RTC support in u-boot. However, as soon as I comment out

#define CONFIG_RTC_DS174x    1    /* use DS1743 RTC in Walnut    */

in walnut.h, line 68, I get build error.

[root@new-linuxdev u-boot-2011.06]# ./MAKEALL walnut

I can figure my way out if it's a code problem. This, however, seems like a configuration issue and I'm still a newbie when it comes to u-boot configuration issue. It seems to have changed a lot since last time I looked at u-boot a few years ago.

I'd appreciate some guidance.

Thank you in advance for any help and thank you all for putting such wonderful software in public domain.

Thanks for the reply.
I was in the process updating ELDK from 4.1 to 4.2 and must have had something screwed up. I tried again Today and it compiles without error.

Thanks for looking into this and helping a newbie.

Hi,
I'm currently working on updating the firmware on our custom board
(based on IBM walnut board) and tried to build the latest released
u-boot 2011.06 using ELDK4.2.
Using the fresh source code extracted from u-boot-2011.06.tar.bz2,  I
did "make walnut_config" and then "make". But I get the following error.

ppc_4xx-ld:u-boot.lds:1: parse error
make: *** [u-boot] Error 1

All of the code compiles. I think it's a linker error but I have no idea
how to resolve the problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
$ wget -c ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/u-boot-2011.06.tar.bz2
$ tar xf u-boot-2011.06.tar.bz2
$ cd u-boot-2011.06/
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
$ ./MAKEALL walnut
Configuring for walnut board...

There is no such problem with walnut board in the v2011.06 release.
Please double-check our source.

HTH,
Anatolij
