When calling 'make u-boot.imx' the build were failing as it were
expecting the full path for the file; this regression has been
included by commit 71a988a (imximage.cfg: run files through C
preprocessor).
The direct references for u-boot.imx were replaced by $(obj) as
config.mk handles the proper setting of it making it set to $(OBJTREE)
when required.
The build has been test using:
- ./MAKEALL -s mx5 -s mx6
- make u-boot.imx
- make O=/tmp/build

The '#' used as comments in the files cause the preprocessor
trouble, so change to /* */.
The mkimage command which uses this preprocessor output
was moved to arch/arm/imx-common/Makefile
.gitignore was updated to ignore .cfgtmp files.

U-Boot Makefiles contain a number of tests for compiler features etc.
which so far are executed again and again. On some architectures
(especially ARM) this results in a large number of calls to gcc.
This patch makes sure to run such tests only once, thus largely
reducing the number of "execve" system calls.
Example: number of "execve" system calls for building the "P2020DS"
(Power Architecture) and "qong" (ARM) boards, measured as:
-> strace -f -e trace=execve -o /tmp/foo ./MAKEALL <board>
-> grep execve /tmp/foo | wc -l
Before: After: Reduction:
==================================
P2020DS 20555 15205 -26%
qong 31692 14490 -54%
As a result, built times are significantly reduced, typically by
30...50%.
