Note: you should run out-of-tree builds; this usually catches a bunch
of additional problems.

ARM (with the 3 patches I just posted) builds cleanly for me, both

warning: Please migrate to boards.cfg.  Failure to do so will
         mean removal of your board in the next release.

Configuring for smdk6400 board...
