As I understood, you mean that -kernel is for people who want to quickly 
compile and try different kernel.
As for me, -uboot is the same ) No need to generate a file, where u-boot 
and kernel are placed. Just use -uboot ./u-boot -kernel ./uImage, change 
kernel, or change u-boot, or both, as you wish.
