i disagree.  u-boot.bin should be the exact flat binary of converting from the 
u-boot ELF file using objdump.

yes.  we havent had a problem in the Blackfin world with educating people.  if 
the bootrom is used, then they have to use u-boot.ldr.  if they're using an 
older Blackfin part and the one bootmode that supports direct execution (the 
part starts running at a hardcoded address), then and only then can they use 
u-boot.bin.
