"
Well, there's quite a bit of support for standalone applications outside
of the "go" command. For example current image format has provisions for
it; from include/image.h:

/*
* Image Types
*
* "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
* provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
* well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
* the Standalone Program.
