Paul is correct in all the above. However, u-boot is very
machine-specific, and there is no qemuarm u-boot configuration. In order
to build u-boot, you must define:

UBOOT_MACHINE
UBOOT_ENTRYPOINT
UBOOT_LOADADDRESS

In bernard and older releases, the first is usally defined in the
u-boot_git.bb as a machine override:

UBOOT_MACHINE_your-machine = "uboot-machine-config"

Where uboot-machine-config is a named machine config that upstream
u-boot ships with its sources. The second and third variable are usually
defined in the machine configuration file.

For example, for the beagleboard, these values are set as:

UBOOT_MACHINE = "omap3_beagle_config"
UBOOT_ENTRYPOINT = "0x80008000"
UBOOT_LOADADDRESS = "0x80008000"

If you aren't sure what those values should be, consider starting a
thread on the u-boot mailing list on how to configure u-boot for your
specific machine.
