When did you last update your repository?  The 3 -> 4 bug was fixed
months ago.

I just let it fail and then restarted the build, as that always seems to
work for me.  Never really looked into why.  I assume there's some sort

Yup, that's where we need the new uboot version.  Any pre-0.1 release
should work on the GlobalScale uboot, but anything after needs the newer
uboot.
