Changing subject line to get Albert's attention

Thanks Tom.  I traced down why "./MAKEALL arm" and "./MAKEALL -a arm"
come up with a different list of boards.  It's because the LIST_arm
rule in MAKEALL which "./MAKEALL arm" uses is buggy and error prone.
It's building all the Atmel boards twice and skipping a bunch of others
like the arm720t, arm946es, and arm1176 boards.

I'm going to work on a patch to make LIST_arm use the same logic as
"./MAKEALL -a arm" but in the mean time I strongly suggest using
"./MAKEALL -a arm" since it generates the correct list of boards.
