Many packages support installing the resulting binary in another location, but U-Boot does not.
When you use buildsystems like buildroot and openembedded, you want to collect the end result in a target directory, and while you can use internal knowledge about u-boot to do so, it seems cleaner to me, to do a "make DESTDIR install".
Since you may want to put the binaries for several boards in the same directory (like /tftpboot) it is not always good to call the binary simply u-boot.bin.
I guess "make DESTDIR=<destination> TARGET=<name> install" would work
Alternatively, we collect the final binary from several variables,
openembedded typically calls the end binary: ${MACHINE}-u-boot-${U_BOOT_VERSION}-${REVISION}.bin
Feedback?
