There is no "rpxlite project".

So what? If you think that parts of this documentation are  wrong  or
obsolete please point them out in detail.

I know neither of these, but it seems everybody else hase no problems
compiling the code. We're using the ELDK, and it workes  without  any
problems.

You did not bother to mention any specific error message you get when
following the instructions.

It's impossible to help you without more (and better) information for you.

What makes you think that this requires to recompile U-Boot?

Did you actually READ the  available  documentation,  especially  the
DULG's  sections  about  U-Boot's  environment  variables  and how to
employ these?

RTFM. It's at http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual
