I'm interested in this too! I got it right about a month ago (July =
2013),
but the exercise is hard to repeat.

AMD64, SVN from src, not ports.

/etc/make.conf had nothing that mattered, /etc/src.conf had a few
"WITHOUT_x", (with x in {CVS, CTM, LPR and a few others of little
consequence}). Importantly, things failed quickly if WITHOUT_GCC
was in /etc/src.conf; u-boot didn't build on a box that had no
legacy GCC.

CURRENT-of-the-day, and redoing "make xdev =85" seemed to help also.

Yes; can't remember what the latest commit was, but my usual practice
is to get this sort of thing to "latest" before I build.

I got it doing lightweight duty like leaving "top -S" running; I didn't
have the time to do anything better, like I do now, and I'm battling;
u-boot won't build right now.
