Ok, now I'm thoroughly confused 8-) It sounds as if the guiding
assumption behind the u-boot-rpi3 port is that it _isn't_ being
self-hosted, but rather part of a cross-compile to be copied onto
an installer medium. This is at variance with "normal" ports, but
consistent with an embedded target that never self-hosts. 

Looking at my own rpi3's /boot directory, most of the files are dated
May 4th, the last time world and kernel were rebuilt and installed. 
Are those files genuinely up-to-date, or merely fresh copies of old 
versions from /usr/share.....?

On a Pi3 that _is_ selfhosting, will updating rpi-firmware and u-boot-rpi3
and then updating world and kernel complete the firmware and u-boot update?

Apologies for the confusion, and thanks for any clarification!

Also consider you don't have to build the port on the Raspberry Pi, so there would be no way to install u-boot from the host system without knowing where the SD card is mounted.
