The mainline 2.4 kernel is already patched to use mkimage to create a
uImage, it's just getting the right code in for the kernel that matters.
I've put a patch to compile u-boot with gcc-3.3.1+ on my A1 page at
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/zarniwhoop.

Heh, I'd forgotten about that one. Supposedly, it comes down to what
the bootscripts are doing and when (i.e. I'm told it doesn't happen on
the patched YDL). What's really amusing is that the invalid time
(negative, at a guess) is moving forward, but in all conscience this is
a minor detail of getting a good kernel.
