Perhaps we should set up a way that people can request images with any of 
the corresponding u-boot bits dd'd on to each image. Note that I'm not 
volunteering extra work for Jared at http://www.invisible.ca/arm/, but 
something like that with the pull-downs to select an image with the proper 
u-boot would probably help a lot of people. Building gcc 8.2 is not 
something that people commonly want to do.

I'd be happy to host pre-dd'd images, or a service which dds upon request. 
The latter seems to make more sense since there are 34 different u-boots, 
so I doubt we want to keep around a few hundred images.
