This did not work:

u-boot-sunxi]# make -j4 CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnu- Cubietruck_defconfig
#
# configuration written to .config
#
#
# configuration written to spl/.config
#
u-boot-sunxi]# make -j4 CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnu-
make: *** No rule to make target 
`/home/rgm/arm/u-boot-sunxi/include/common.h', needed by 
`include/config/auto.conf'.  Stop.

So no F21 testing on a Cubietruck until I am told how to get the 
ethernet working.
