It appears you can compile clean because that defconfig 
(mx28evk_auart_console) doesnt fully enable the serial output.

You still need to define CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT somewhere or else 
mxs_spl_console_init() just optimises away.

When I define this in configs/mxs.h I get the build error.

Can you re-consider applying this patch given the above?
