Yes, it is. But it was handy for conditional inclusion of source files
in the Makefiles, like this:

+# used only by normal u-boot
+COBJS-$(CONFIG_NORMAL_UBOOT) += fileA.o
+# used only by SPL
+COBJS-$(CONFIG_UBOOT_SPL_BUILD) += fileB.o
+# used by SPL and normal u-boot
+COBJS-y += fileC.o

Without CONFIG_NORMAL_UBOOT this becomes a little cumbersome.
