#define CONFIG_NETCONSOLE 1

and then with the following command, 
make distclean
make at91sam9263ek_config
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-
I get error a compile error

I recomment to start by reading the documentation.

This is to be expected. Read the docs.

U-Boot 1.1.5 is extremely old and unsupported here. Please use current
code.

In my last e-mail I already pointed you to doc/README.NetConsole.  From
where in this document do you get the idea tha help should show you
somethong about netconsole?

"coninfo" woulb be a much better candidate for getting info...

Cheers
  Detlev
