mkimage is a tool which is built as part of U-boot.
One workaround is to build the latest U-Boot for AVR32 and put mkimage in 
your path.
I.E: /usr/local/bin/mkimage

The Atmel AVR32 specific buildroot at www.atmel.no/buildroot might do this 
for you.

You can also select to build vmlinux as your linux target and generate the 
uImage manually from vmlinux.

Probably, linux should depend on U-Boot, if uImage is selected
