I am not sure what you want to do. Use U-Boot from the git repository,
this should be up to date for MCF5445x. Use a decent toolchain - for
U-Boot, I always had good results with the pre-compiled versions from
CodeSourcery. Then you should be set to compile your own U-Boot with
minimal effort.

Coming to Linux (which you seem to target with SELF?), my experience is
you have to use the horribly outdated LTIB package provided by Freescale
because they did not push any of their changes back to mainline.
I would be happy if anybody could prove me wrong in this regard, but this
is my experience from almost 1 year ago until May 2010.

Regards,
Wolfgang
