I've fixed the issue with building the target-tools with 2009.06-rc1+
in my tree at work, but I haven't pushed it upstream yet as we haven't
any 2009.06-rcX support in BR (and I won't add it so close to the
release). I'll check it in next week after the release.

If you need it earlier, you could try to apply the following yourself:

    u-boot: target tools: use library files from their original location
    
    u-boot 2009.06-rc1 has changed the tools/ logic, and no longer adds
    symbolic links to the needed library files in the tools directory.
    Fix build by referencing the library files in their original
    location.
