I downloaded the powerpc cross-compiler from:
http://newos.org/toolchains/powerpc-elf-4.8.1-Linux-x86_64.tar.xz
as redirected from here:
http://wiki.osdev.org/GCC_Cross-Compiler
and uboot is from:
ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/u-boot-latest.tar.bz2
Compile for ocotea_config (make ocotea config) after setting ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE environment variable, got a lot of errors:

Nonetheless, downloading another cross-compiler from http://ftp.denx.de/pub/eldk/5.3/targets/powerpc/:
http://ftp.denx.de/pub/eldk/5.3/targets/powerpc/eldk-eglibc-i686-powerpc-toolchain-gmae-5.3.sh
and after executing it, the cross compiler is installed in /opt/eldk-5.3/powerpc/ directory.
export ARCH=powerpc
export CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/eldk-5.3/powerpc/sysroots/i686-eldk-linux/usr/bin/powerpc-linux/powerpc-linux-
make ocotea_config
make
The u-boot binaries is successfully produced.
Making the tools – "make tools":

CHK include/generated/version_autogenerated.h

Finally to flash the uboot to the Ocotea board, which comes default with PIBS bootloader, flash uboot using PIBS bootloader as instructed in:
https://casper.berkeley.edu/svn/trunk/roach/sw/uboot/doc/README.ocotea-PIBS-to-U-Boot
After turning the board off and switching SW1 (U46) to on (= closed) (as instructed in above article), and turning on the power of the board again you should see the following message:

Next is to get linux kernel porting done.
Checking out the linux kernel 2.6.25 (which does have ocotea.c implemented inside the source code, having been deprecated in the current 3.14 version):
export ARCH=ppc
export CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/eldk-5.3/powerpc/sysroots/i686-eldk-linux/usr/bin/powerpc-linux/powerpc-linux-
make ocotea_defconfig
make V=1
make V=1 uImage
And the following is the partial compiled output:
/bin/bash /home/tthtlc/Downloads/ocotea/kernel2625/scripts/mksysmap .tmp_System.map
cmp -s System.map .tmp_System.map || (echo Inconsistent kallsyms data; echo Try setting CONFIG_KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS; rm .tmp_kallsyms* ; /bin/false )
rm -f .old_version
make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=arch/ppc/boot/images arch/ppc/boot/images/uImage

gzip -f -9 arch/ppc/boot/images/vmlinux.gz.$$ && mv arch/ppc/boot/images/vmlinux.gz.$$ arch/ppc/boot/images/vmlinux.gz
