+Sometimes it is required to build only host U-Boot tools without building
+U-Boot itself for either board.
+
+For example:
+ * In "buildroot" "uboot-tools" could be built for host just to have an ability
+   to create uImage.
+ * Linux distributions ship "mkimage" utility as a separate substance.
+
+This patch allows building host U-Boot tools separately from U-Boot itself and
+what is more important user only needs to have host compiler (gcc).
+
+To build host tools just execute:
+=====
+make tools HOST_TOOLS_ONLY=yes
+=====
+
+Without this patch to generate tools user needs:
+ 1. Configure any existing board with "make XXX_config"
+ 2. Execute tools building but still cross-compiler will be invoked and if
+    there's no proper cross-compiler in PATH compilation will fail.
