Is this a regression of the bootloaders-cleanup branch ? As far as I
can see the non-Advanced configuration for the kernel never handled the
dependency on host mkimage. So I think it wasn't working before, and it
still isn't working.

I have another branch, linux-cleanup, that reworks all the code that
builds the kernel, so I'm really interested in improving the existing
code (of course, if it's a regression, I'll fix it).

Regards,

Thomas
