The error is probably not related to the '_depend' messages. Look at
the last two lines. It seems like you're missing the mysbc405.h file.

I think you might be missing a header file.  The _depend target is not
the problem here: it seems that you didn't tell make how to build
mysbc405.h, which it needs to make envcrc.o.

Thanks for your answer!!  In fact, I have deleted the file of
mysbc405.h and the link in the makefile.I plan to design for a new
board. I don't konw where the envcrc.o is and how to delete the link to
mysbc405.h entirely.

You need to tell make not to try to make envcrc.o either --- it's trying to
make envcrc.o (by compiling envcrc.c, probably) but it knows that it needs
mysbc405.h to do that.

Somewhere in the makefiles there is probably a variable which lists objects
that need to be built.

From
/home/zheng/workstation/u-boot-1.1.6

do
find . -type f | xargs grep envcrc

This should list all files that contain "envcrc"
