To solve the problem of not finding the linker - I had to set the CROSS_COMPILE environment variable using these bash commands.
> CROSS_COMPILE=nios2-elf- > export CROSS_COMPILE Running make - the build completed with no errors. THIS WAS fully documented in the README file starting at line 4929. So I fully deserve a "RTFM idiot" comment and Kudos to the writer(s) of the Uboot README file.
