Well, I tried to fix it, but I can't figure it out.  I just don't
understand why it's so broken.  The errors I get are so confusing, and
I can't figure out what the Makefile is doing when it fails.  So I
give up.

Fortunately, I found a version of mkimage that builds just fine as-is,
and that's all I care about for now.  If anyone else is interested,
you can find it here:

http://packages.debian.org/sid/uboot-mkimage

Just download the tarball and run 'make'.

Wolfgang, I think you seriously need to revamp your build process.
The kernel is orders of magnitude more complex than U-Boot, and yet I
can build it just fine on OS X.
