[U-Boot] beagleboard, and building only host tools from u-boot

[Robert P. J. Day]

  a couple short questions.  first, is the denx git repo reasonably
up-to-date WRT beagleboard support?  it would appear to be since
include/configs contains the appropriate omap3_beagle.h file, i just
wasn't sure how quickly any BB enhancements got committed.

  and is there technically any need for a working cross-compiler if
all i want to do is build the host-side tools?  specifically, if i
want to build "mkimage?"  i ask since the build structure for android
required a host-side mkimage, so i need to build and install that on
the host before i can do the actual android build.  but since mkimage
runs on the build host, i don't see an immediate need for an ARM
cross-compiler, and yet you can do "make tools" without one.

  is there any way around this?  i'm just curious.
