Sure the uImage is to be used with u-boot, but I see the value of having a generic ARM toolchain and that still allows me to create uImage files. The mkimage binary adds about 80 KB in a 273 MB toolchain (doesn't seem too much).

If we're adding u-boot to the SDK then we should add every bootloader.
But why install grub for a PPC SDK?  This is why I suggested adding
the right bootloader for each machine.
