No header gets modified.

It is much better to use normal (uncompressed) kernel image, compress it using just gzip, and use this as poayload for mkimage. This way U-Boot does the uncompresiong instead of including yet another uncompressor with each kernel image. > uImage file. And No, zImage files, as they are, are not compatible with > U-Boot.
