CC ed the u-boot mailinglist, because its more a u-boot topic. I used to
compile the u-boot
for a sh7750R based board (Sorry, patches for u-boot not posted yet ...)
with the
compiler from

http://www.sh-linux.org

There is also a fine readme.txt for installation.

or use crosstools for making a compiler for your needs. See it at:

http://www.kegel.com/crosstool/

And then, hack the code ;-)
If your Flash supports CFI it should work with the CFI driver in u-boot.
Look in the u-boot readme how to start/modify the u-boot code.

bye
Heiko
