I would recommend you not to try to force the Yocto build system to
work-around component quirks, but to try to fix the component makefile
to work properly in a cross-compile environment. Assuming that barebox
and U-Boot have somewhat similar build scripts, it should be to see how
things work in U-Boot and do it the same way for barebox (U-Boot builds
*perfectly* in every environment I had so far, including native armhf
builds).

The other thing I could recommend is to re-evaluate your motivation to
build barebox and to try instead using U-Boot for the same purpose
(unless barebox is a hard-requirement for your project). If you feel
like learning more about Makefiles makes you happy - that's cool, but
if you're hard pressed against a wall (e.g. deadlines) you should look
at lower risk solution.
