I'm not sure what the relationship is between U-Boot and Linux. My impression is that U-Boot borrows code from Linux,
yes. they basically borrow / forward-port (on an irregular basis) device driver code. combined with parts of libc6 (or uclibc), "executables" can be built with a minimum of fuss that look pretty much like standard c programs except that it's one entire static binary. imagine something like busybox combined with parts of the linux kernel into a single static in-memory binary and that's pretty much what it is.
