If it is both easy to build mkimage by itself, and can be distributed as a package for the various distros, then most of this issue goes away.
True. The one thing that might pop up is that distros might object to 'mkimage' being too generic. Though I think the chance of that being a large issue is small. We should definitely try and make it standalone in some fashion.
This is a good point. By rights it should be uboot-mkimage or something like that.
mkuimage would likely suffice.
However, stating that the kernel code depends on mkimage being named mkimage is a good argument.
Surely you must be joking. What distro are you using that would care about what an embedded kernel build requires?
Anyway, we've bantered about this long enough. Time for a patch. Hopefully tomorrow if Stefan doesn't beat me to it *wink* ;)
