  I had a look at mkimage source, it appears to generate
target-independent format (does htonl() and friends), so it at least
can stay uboot-utils-native as the actual commit made it.

  More interestingly is that both u-boot and u-boot-utils-native stage
mkimage, and that's all what u-boot-utils-native does actually, so we
have redundancy here.
