[PATCH] Do not fail build if mkimage is not available

This fixes the boot image wrapper script to not fail the kernel
build if mkimage is not available.
As some distributions don't ship the mkimage program and I am not
interested in uboot images anyway, I don't want to fail the whole kernel
build process because of this unneeded dependency.

Simply drop an error message, but don't fail the build.
