As pointed out in [1], compilation failed if the prepare make target was not called before compiling the imx-usb-loader, which caused the generated file not to exist when building for the sandbox target and broke the build. After a discussion on the original thread, a different approach has been pursued by simply adding utsrelease.h as a dependency to scripts.
