Please get the newer version here (or directly from git):
http://barebox.org/download/barebox-2009.12.0.tar.bz2

It seems you compiler is too old. I get the same error with our
gcc-4.1.2 based toolchain, but I do not with a gcc-4.3.2 based
toolchain.

As an alternative you might wan't to use the following patch (untested):

Subject: [PATCH] armv7: use -march=armv6 to compile v7 code

-march=armv7-a is available only in in newer gccs (>=4.3.2?)
To make this work use 'mcr     p15, 0, r10, c7, c5, 4' instead
of isb as seen in the kernel head.S
