Correct.  At the time the stuff in arch/ppc/boot differed vastly between
the PPC trees and kernel.org.  But since they're synced up again now,
it's time to tackle arch/ppc/boot :)

I _think_ I test-built an 8260 kernel but I'm not sure.

It's arch/ppc/boot/simple in 2.4.19-preX, and that's the 'correct'
stuff.

Well, w/ kbuild-2.4 arch/ppc/boot/Makefile controls all of that with
SUBDIR-$(...) statements.
