But this boot-wrapper makefile doesn't (and didn't) use the zImage,
it uses the uImage, and that's what it asks the kernel makefile
to create. I don't understand why you'd want to depend on something
you're not using -- surely that can only lead to problems with
not always rebuilding when necessary?
