That tool is called 'mkimage'.  You grab a universal zImage, and use 
mkimage on it at installation time to adjust it to the U-Boot runtime 
environment where it is installed.

Morale of this story: including mkimage (aka "make uImage") as part of 
the kernel build process was a mistake.  It has sent the wrong message 
to people, presenting uImage as the distributable build product which it 
is not.
