Has something changed in 4.14.7-gentoo sources from its predecessors?

I'm getting this on two systems:

[snip ...]
 INSTALL sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-codec-hdmi.ko
 INSTALL sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-codec.ko
 INSTALL sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
 DEPMOD  4.14.7-gentoo
make: *** No rule to make target 'firmware_install'.  Stop.

Yes, there is a change to drop the target rule ‘firmware_install’ [1]. I’ve noticed also [2] but in the end it seems the rule is finally dropped:

 /usr/src/linux-4.12.12-gentoo/scripts/Makefile.fwinst    ...  exists
/usr/src/linux-4.14.4-gentoo/scripts/Makefile.fwinst ... no such file
To check it’s there look for ‘Other generic targets’ in kernel dir:

   sudo make help

or just grep:

   grep -q 'firmware_install' /usr/src/linux/Makefile
