Mainline 4.19.* does not have a file called scripts/mkknlimg.
Since I am not familiar with that script, I used some internet search
engine and found several sites that might help you.  Good luck.  :)

Bottom line is that it is no longer needed. The second URL above says:

It's not at all clear what would be going wrong in your case. Our standard kernel build instructions (https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/linux/kernel/building.md) just copy the zImage:

sudo cp arch/arm/boot/zImage /boot/$KERNEL.img

and

sudo cp arch/arm/boot/zImage mnt/fat32/$KERNEL.img

cheers.
