uboot and sunxi-tools now cross compiles on ubuntu 12.04.3:

  # ARM with floating point support cross compiler install
  sudo apt-get install gcc-4.4-arm-linux-gnueabihf
  cd /usr/bin
  sudo ln -s arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-4.4 arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc
  cd ~

  # download and cross compile uboot
  git clone https://github.com/linux-sunxi/u-boot-sunxi.git
  cd u-boot-sunxi
  make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- EOMA68_A20_FEL
  cd ..

  # download and cross compile sunxi-tools
  sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0.0-dev
  git clone https://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-tools.git
  cd sunxi-tools
  make
  cd ..

Further instructions:

  #To get serial port software such as minicom going:
  
  sudo apt-get install minicom
  
  #plug in RS232-USB converter
  dmesg
  # should see something like ttyUSB0 attached.
  
  # unfortunately something has been done to Ubuntu 12.04 leaving serial port
  # functionality broken - do these to repair it (temporarily)
  sudo adduser your_user_name dialout
  sudo chmod a+rw /dev/ttyUSB0

  # open up a new command line window and run serial port from command line and leave it running all the time
  minicom -s
  # scroll down to serial port set up, and set device to /dev/ttyUSB0, 115200 8N1,
  # software or hardware flow control; press enter again to leave that menu.
  # scroll down and select Exit from the menu. This exits the menu and takes you
  # to RS232 interactive mode. (minicom exit command is type CRTL-A, Z, X)

  # keeping the 2 pressed on the keyboard, turn on the EOMA, and something like this will show:
  # (keep pressing the 2 key until "Jump to fel" message is seen on the minicom screen)

  # going back to old command line, plug in EOMA micro USB cable and enter
  lsusb
  
  # The listing will look something like this:

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 064e:a129 Suyin Corp. 
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 1f3a:efe8  
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 062a:0001 Creative Labs Notebook Optical Mouse

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

  # Note the device listed as Bus 002 - it has no entries on the right side.
  # That is the EOMA. To check it is working, do this:

  cd sunxi-tools
  sudo ./usb-boot ../u-boot-sunxi/spl/u-boot-spl.bin ../u-boot/u-boot.bin

  # ordinarily sudo is not needed in above line, it seems USB on Ubuntu 12.04 is broken.
  # note ./usb-boot takes two parameters, both of which were previously compiled
  # and sitting in u-boot-sunxi directory.
  # The messages I get when ./usb-boot runs are these:

fel write 0x2000 ../u-boot-sunxi/spl/u-boot-spl.bin
fel exe 0x2000
fel write 0x4a000000 ../u-boot/u-boot.bin

  # and on the minicom window, I get these messages:

Its stuck after the CPU message.
