This is in the category "intended breakage".
We had a similar issue in the top-level Makefile which Paul (IIRC)
helped me to fix long time ago.

To fix popwerpc I suggest something along these lines.

[PATCH] powerpc: fix build with make 3.82

Thomas Backlund reported that the powerpc build broke with make 3.82.
It failed with the following message:

    arch/powerpc/Makefile:183: *** mixed implicit and normal rules.  Stop.

The fix is to avoid mixing non-wildcard and wildcard targets.
