AT91SAM9261-EK should be available by now via git to the AT91 U-Boot git repository: http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot/u-boot-at91.git;a=summary I'm sure you will be much happier with the improvements of the git at91 code than linux4sam.org whose most current code is still _appears_ to be based on U-Boot 1.2.0. (There is a reference to 1.3.0, saying the port is incomplete.)
