I agree that carrying the full source is excessive.  However, the way mkimage
is built requires you to configure U-Boot for a board first.  Newer versions
also rely on the libfdt support in the U-Boot source code.  So creating a
trimmed down package can be done, but it would need to be done carefully.

The config part is the trickiest.  Configuring it for e.g. and i686 board may
not be what you want if you are trying to build a PowerPC uImage, etc.  I don't
know off the top of my head, but some inspection would be needed if this were
to be done in a general fashion.
