Negative. Same topic came up for Amlogic, and I had to develop the
native Open Source meson-tools instead.

For creating a JeOS image we need to use U-Boot SPL, which as I already
pointed out should avoid all those binary-only x86 tools.

If that is not working yet (you did not say), then we can just document
the x86-only steps to keep them out of OBS.

Yousaf gave a presentation on how to accomplish that for RK3399.

If this reservation is implemented, then similar to my JeOS-nanopik2
image we could just leave out U-Boot and give users Wiki instructions on
how to place U-Boot there themselves.

You had forgotten to create an HCL Wiki page - I stubbed one out:
