I dont see the netstar or voiceblue failures with my
installations of
arm-linux-gcc (GCC) 4.0.0 (DENX ELDK 4.0 4.0.0)
arm-linux-gcc (GCC) 3.4.2 (release) (CodeSourcery ARM Q3 2004)

You probably didn't try running something like

JOBS='-j4' ./MAKEALL netstar

It turns out that the failing boards have (somewhat suspicious) dependencies on other libraries which are not taken care of in the Makefiles.

I'm working on a patch.

Best regards,
