Yes, you're right. But why do you want to install the boot.bin binary. 
You should create a normal u-boot binary file (not a compressed image)
and store it in flash at 0x10000000 instead of storing boot.bin and a
compressed u-boot image.

This a the point, it normally doesn't make any sense to use boot.bin,
use u-boot directly.
