[Buildroot] BR-2009.01 U-Boot not working on my AT91SAM9261ek Board

[QuickX]

I've finally had some time to attempt to update my project to BR-2009.02 and noticed some things, so thought I'd share.

1. microperl (default config option) doesn't build on Kubuntu 8.10 (Make Errors).
2. php (default config option) doesn't build on Kubuntu 8.10 (it doesn't try to download but complains it can't find it in the dl directory).
3. U-Boot (Add architecture specific patch -> Add AT91 specific patches to u-Boot) causes u-Boot to not work on board.

Little more info on "3" is if this option is set (default) then Hyperterminal sits at the at91bootstrap message forever and doesn't load u-boot.  If I turn this option off and then issue the following, it works.

$ make menuconfig (turn off u-boot at91 patch)
$ rm -rf *build_*
$ make



The Hyperterminal (in the non-working case, with patch set) looks like this (and sits there forever):
>AT91Bootstrap-2.10...AT45DB642D detected
>From:  [0x00008400] To:        [0x23F00000] Size:      [0x00032000]

U-Boot builds if you build manually:
make sure that the buildroot toolchain is in your path.
$make u-boot-unpacked (or similar)
$ cd $(UBOOT_DIR)
$ make <board>
$ make

I have seen this problem as well, that is why I reintroduced the 
1.2.0-atmel.

When I got time.

   Could this be a problem with 2009 in general? It also doesn't work
with AVR32, but 2008 version available in buildroot does. I tried it
on the NGW100.

It's very similar to the problem with the rc4'ish post I made 
(http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2009-February/025793.html). 
Not 100% exactly the same, here is a snip of the last few lines.

If you compile perl5 on a different machine or from a different object
directory, copy the Policy.sh file from this object directory to the
new one before you run Configure -- this will help you with most of
the policy defaults.

It complains that "*/dl/php-5.2.8.tar.bz2" doesn't exist (it doesn't), but I 
can't see anywhere where it attempted to download...  It would probably work 
if I manually got php-5.2.8.tar.bz2 file and put it in my download 
*guessing*.  I don't use either php or miniperl on my board, I was just 
testing the default settings.

I'm not sure what the AT91 u-boot patch adds but I haven't run into any 
problems with u-boot on my at91sam9261ek board, when the patch disabled.

Fixed in r25403.
