Apparently, no one ever patched the port to use bb-uboot.img and bb-ubldr
as the name.

I did this in Crochet when I was experimenting with having multiple
U-Boots on a single SD card image.  That experiment was to try
to see what would be required to build single images that booted on
multiple different devices.
