Move milestone to 2010.05 since enhancements will not be handled before the release of 2010.02.
Yes, the BR2_KERNEL_LINUX infrastructure doesn't handle the dependency on mkimage, while the BR2_KERNEL_LINUX_ADVANCED infrastructure does. I don't intend to fix the current BR2_KERNEL_LINUX infrastructure since I've completely rewritten the code to compile the Linux kernel and hope to get it merged for 2010.08. The dependency on mkimage in this new infrastructure should be correct. So if my new infrastructure gets merged, we'll be able to mark this bug as fixed.
The linux-cleanup work has been merged, and it properly handles the dependency on uImage generation to U-Boot mkimage. So this bug is fixed now.
