Is this really an issue today?  Between ELDK, Linaro and CodeSourcey
(and many other options too) it's really easy to get a v7 toolchain.

Was the doc wrong or do you mean you'll change the Makefile as well? :)
 Thanks!

+Summary
+=======
+
+This README is about U-Boot support for Renesas's ARM Cortex-A9 based RMOBILE[1]
+family of SoCs. Renesas's RMOBILE SoC family contains an ARM Cortex-A9.
+
+Currently the following boards are supported:
+
+* KMC KZM-A9-GT [2]
+
+* Atmark-Techno Armadillo-800-EVA [3]
+
+Toolchain
+=========
+
+While ARM Cortex-A9 support ARM v7 instruction set (-march=armv7a) we compile
+with -march=armv5 to allow more compilers to work. For U-Boot code this has
+no performance impact.
+
+Build
+=====
+
+* KZM-A9-GT
