How about this?:

diff --git a/arch/arm/boot/Makefile b/arch/arm/boot/Makefile
index 4a590f4..b79050e 100644
--- a/arch/arm/boot/Makefile
+++ b/arch/arm/boot/Makefile
@@ -21,7 +21,7 @@ endif
 #   ZRELADDR == virt_to_phys(PAGE_OFFSET + TEXT_OFFSET)
 #   PARAMS_PHYS must be within 4MB of ZRELADDR
 #   INITRD_PHYS must be in RAM
-ZRELADDR    := $(zreladdr-y)
+ZRELADDR    := $(shell printf "0x%08x" $$[`echo PHYS_OFFSET + $(TEXT_OFFSET)  | $(CPP) $(CPP_FLAGS) -D__ASSEMBLY__ -xc -include arch/arm/include/asm/memory.h - | tail -n 1`])
 PARAMS_PHYS := $(params_phys-y)
 INITRD_PHYS := $(initrd_phys-y)
 

Since params_phys-y is (always?) constant relative to zreladdr-y, it can
also be calculated in a similar fashion, e.g.

PARAMS_PHYS := $(shell printf "0x%08x" $$[$(ZRELADDR) - 0x7f00])
