It reports some known errors (because there is no 2>/dev/null in hush)
but there should not be many.

I do (in some driver script):

export CROSS_COMPILE="$TARGET-"
make distclean
make ${U_BOOT_BOARDNAME}_config && make USE_PRIVATE_LIBGCC=yes all

And, you must boot with AUX button pressed - or you mix old
X-Loader and new U-Boot.
