This does not seem to matter for building the rom image but this can be fixed by converting it to a relative path. I've done that and will send a patch to update the submodule as well to use the QEMU repo now that we have a mirror there. Thanks for finding this.
When making u-boot-am460ex image, in roms/Makefile, we do a plain copy, while 5 lines above, u-boot image is being stripped on copy. Should we perform strip for u-boot-am460ex image too, if not only to be consistent?
No, this is correct. These use different images. For e500 the u-boot ELF image is used after stripping it while for sam460ex the u-boot.bin is needed which is another build target and does not contain symbols to be stripped so a plain copy is enough.
BTW, can't u-boot-am460ex image be made from regular u-boot sources, maybe with an additional board added? :)
No. This was discussed before several times. Look up those threads for more info or if you don't beleive it just compare the two u-boot versions. I don't intend to take up the task of supporting this board in latest u-boot versions which even removed support for the CPU type it needs. Also we aim to be as compatible to real hardware as possible because of assumptions of closed source guests.
