Yes, of course this is possible. It's Free Software under GPL, so you
can modify and/or repackage it as you like. Just make sure to fulfill
the requirements of the GPL which still  apply,  no  matter  how  you
split it off...

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

U-boot and Linux kernel sources are available in the same package, but
the intent was to allow linux developers to bypass the step to build
u-boot just get this binary.
