reference for u-boot is ELDK [1]. Some use mentor (formerly
codesourcery) toolchain [2] successfully. Others build it for there own
by one of the million instructions [3]. ct-ng [4], yocto [5], buildroot
[6] could also be a good choice.

You need not, but why care for two different toolchains?

Best regards
