Well, BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_BOARDNAME="omap3_beagle" is a U-Boot option, while the
build error you have is from the kernel.

Since a few kernel versions, ARM has moved to multiplatform kernel, and the
load address is no longer known by the kernel sources themselves, and must be
passed as a LOADADDR environment variable when generating a kernel uImage.

Buildroot has support for that, in the form of the
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_UIMAGE_LOADADDR:

config BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_UIMAGE_LOADADDR
        string "load address (for 3.7+ multi-platform image)"
        depends on BR2_arm || BR2_armeb
        depends on BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_UIMAGE || BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_APPENDED_UIMAGE
        help
          If your ARM system's Linux kernel is configured with the new (3.7+)
          multi-architecture support (CONFIG_ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM=y in your
          kernel config), then it is necessary to specify a kernel load address
          when building the uImage. This should be a hexadecimal string
          beginning with 0x, for example: 0x00008000.

          If unsure, let this option empty.

You simply need to use this option. For your OMAP3 BeagleBoard, I suggest you
to use 0x80008000.
