Oh, it builds it, it just builds it inside the sim directory. That's not
actually a problem, it just made me think there might be a problem.
Here's the messages:
LD vmlinux
OBJCOPY arch/ia64/hp/sim/boot/vmlinux.bin
GZIP arch/ia64/hp/sim/boot/vmlinux.gz
LN vmlinux.gz
Kernel: vmlinux.gz is ready
Since it used to do
OBJCOPY arch/ia64/boot/vmlinux.bin
GZIP arch/ia64/boot/vmlinux.gz
LN vmlinux.gz
I thought I'd broken something with my other makefile change.
By the way, -test3 used to take a really really long time to link each
step, and -test4 doesn't. I don't know whether this was an intentional
fix, but I'm certainly happy to see it.
