Good idea. Even if the bug is registered in our bug tracker, it's always good to push patches when we don't include them quickly. > Recap: The problem is that $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin, does not exist when > u-boot tries to install the mkimage binary.

But since mkimage is a host tool, I would rather prefer changing the u-boot Makefile.in to install mkimage to $(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin.
