Since I'm working on custom hardware I have the luxury of an 8Meg flash
that I can program from Linux using my own utils.  As such, when I build
a system, I don't build the kernel with linuxbios.  However, (at least
for the version of linuxbios I'm still using) linuxbios Makefiles assume
that a kernel is needed for building a full rom image when all I
actually want is a 64K block that is only linuxbios.  I have managed by
touching a few files that it considers necessary dependencies (but are
not ) and by using make on selected targets.  With this I am able to
build just linuxbios without a kernel image.

I build the kernel image separately.

If it doesn't get done before I get updated, I will be submitting
patches to allow simple creation of just linuxbios and make building
full rom images with kernels optional.

I am mentioning this now because Ron's problem above is related in that
the linuxbios makefile assumes too great a scope.
