I disagree. As I understand, mkimage is only used on "make uImage". When
I do this and the tool producing the uImage (i.e. the final target) is
missing or can't produce the target otherwise, I expect an error.
Otherwise, this problem would be silently ignored. That's why I created
the original patch in the first place.

Please tell me if I missed come fact.

Thanks for considering,

Roland
