Current sparc next fails to boot (hangs at Booting Linux...).
I bisected it down to this:

sparc: refactor Makefile
The btfixup step needs knowledge of all the .o files,
but there is no need to pass them in independent variables.
Simplify it to use only two variables.

Hi Robert.
Thanks for testing and bisecting!
Can I ask you to send me the output of make V=1 for
your kernel before and after the above patch is applied.
It's only the last few lines that are of interest (from btfixup
and onwards).
I hope from that to say what is causing the boot regression.

Hi Robert.
Can you try to add the following patch on top of
the " sparc: refactor Makefile" patch.
This was the only difference I could see in my
limited testing here.

I hand applied it to yesterdays sparc-next and it seems to have fixed it.
I'll do some more testing tonight when I have the time.

Thanks. I do not see why it cured the boot but I know how to fix it.
I will try to find time tonight to look at it.
