Looks good, except for these bits of collateral damage:

- -        if test -e arch/${ARCH}/boot/images/uImage ; then
- -             ln -f arch/${ARCH}/boot/images/uImage
arch/${ARCH}/boot/uImage

The above is needed for various powerpc/ppc boards, and the below is
needed for at least blackfin:

- -        if test -e arch/${ARCH}/kernel/vmlinux.lds ; then
- -             ln -f arch/${ARCH}/kernel/vmlinux.lds
arch/${ARCH}/boot/vmlinux

The linux kernel doesn't seem to have a strict policy on image placement
and various vendor patches aren't exactly helping the situation :/

Koen
