Do you have the CRC package included & enabled in your build?
Look in your build directory, you should see something like this:
  [gthomas@hermes rt]$ grep CRC install/include/pkgconf/*
  install/include/pkgconf/crc.h:#ifndef CYGONCE_PKGCONF_CRC_H
  install/include/pkgconf/crc.h:#define CYGONCE_PKGCONF_CRC_H
  install/include/pkgconf/hal.h:#define CYGDBG_HAL_CRCTABLE_LOCATION RAM
  install/include/pkgconf/hal.h:#define CYGDBG_HAL_CRCTABLE_LOCATION_RAM
  install/include/pkgconf/redboot.h:#define CYGSEM_REDBOOT_FIS_CRC_CHECK 1
  install/include/pkgconf/system.h:#define CYGPKG_CRC current
  install/include/pkgconf/system.h:#define CYGPKG_CRC_current
  install/include/pkgconf/system.h:#define CYGNUM_CRC_VERSION_MAJOR CYGNUM_VERSION_CURRENT
  install/include/pkgconf/system.h:#define CYGNUM_CRC_VERSION_MINOR -1
  install/include/pkgconf/system.h:#define CYGNUM_CRC_VERSION_RELEASE -1

Also, make sure that your sources are new enough.  In .../redboot/current/ChangeLog:

        * src/flash.c (fis_load): CRC check on load was broken (the CDL
        option changed names)
