It was other way. We had u-boot recipes (target ones) which staged 
mkimage. This was wrong as it mixed target and host in one run. Then 
Openmoko guys started to use u-boot and one day someone created recipe 
just for mkimage from their overpatched version.

u-boot-mkimage-native was created by me in Poky few days ago to get rid of 
overpatched Openmoko version. I used 1.3.2 (latest upstream) version as a 
base. Now I see that u-boot-tools-native (1.2.0) is in OE and do the 
same.
