Hi Scott,

Reference:
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/29858/focus=29903>

I also saw that recently and came to the same conclusion.  It is due to 
a very naive command configuration - taking "all" and then subtracting 
the undesired ones.  The problem is, whenever someone adds a command 
that is incompatible, the build breaks for that board.

Jon (jdl) has a New Improved command configuration mechanism that will 
solve the world's woes, except for that one.  I intend to submit a patch 
after Jon's patches were pulled into the mainline (unless someone beat 
me to it).

Best regards,
