They took a snapshot of u-boot and then did their own patching, but did not feed the patches back to u-boot. The result is a fork. IIRC, there has been talk about unforking openmoko, but that has not happened yet. The bottom line is that we know little or nothing about openmoko's u-boot build methodology. You need to ask openmoko developers (openmoko lists). Best regards, gvb
