I’m following the U-Boot build instructions at eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black#BeagleBoneBlack-Bootloader:U-Boot and am getting this error:

I am using Kbuntu 13.10 32 bit.

Thanks so much,

Never "install" gcc into the same directly that contains "u-boot"..

if you "look" close at the actual instructions. gcc is downloaded into
'~/' aka /home/<user>/ and then u-boot is cloned into '~/u-boot' aka
/home/<user>/u-boot/

Thank you Robert.

And yes, I was being blind and a bit ignorant. All is working now. Thank you for all your hard work on getting the Debian release ready.
