you can see the method we use in Gentoo here:
http://sources.gentoo.org/dev-embedded/u-boot-tools/
but i'd agree that i wish it were easier to just build the helper utilities.
and if they werent so tightly intertwined with the rest of the u-boot code ...
atm you cant build mkimage on a non-Linux system due to the libfdt stuff.
