No. However, the linux-cleanup patch removes the non-advanced/advanced
configuration schemes for building the Linux kernel to only keep one.

Do you have mkimage in output-build/host/usr/bin ? Can you try by
removing completely output-build ?

Yes, I would need to reproduce the issue. So please reproduce the issue
from a clean build, even if it involves doing :

 *) A build from scratch
 *) Removing some stuff
 *) Restarting the build

I haven't tested the mkimage dependency today, but I've implemented it
recently, and as far as I know, Peter tested it before merging the
bootloaders-cleanup branch, so I'm quite sure that it works in the
default case (i.e, build from scratch).

Thanks !
