mkuboot.sh provides a basic wrapper for the 'mkimage' utility. Using mkuboot.sh provides clearer error reporting and allows a toolchain to use its own 'mkimage' executable specified by ${CROSS_COMPILE}mkimage. Additionally, this brings PowerPC in line with other architectures which already call mkimage via mkuboot.sh.
