The file arch/blackfin/kernel/.vmlinux.lds.cmd should look like this:
cmd_arch/i386/kernel/vmlinux.lds := i686-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -m32 -E
-Wp,-MD,arch/i386/kernel/.vmlinux.lds.d -nostdinc -isystem
/opt/crosstool/gcc-4.1.0-glibc-2.3.6/i686-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/gcc/i686-unknown-linux-gnu/4.1.0/include
-D__KERNEL__ -I/home/sam/kernel/kbuild-fix.git/include -Iinclude
-I/home/sam/kernel/kbuild-fix.git/include2 -Iinclude2
-I/home/sam/kernel/kbuild-fix.git/include -include include/linux/autoconf.h -P
-C -Ui386 -D__ASSEMBLY__ -o arch/i386/kernel/vmlinux.lds
/home/sam/kernel/kbuild-fix.git/arch/i386/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S
deps_arch/i386/kernel/vmlinux.lds := \
/home/sam/kernel/kbuild-fix.git/arch/i386/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S \
$(wildcard include/config/blk/dev/initrd.h) \
/home/sam/kernel/kbuild-fix.git/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h \
include2/asm/thread_info.h \
$(wildcard include/config/4kstacks.h) \
$(wildcard include/config/debug/stack/usage.h) \
/home/sam/kernel/kbuild-fix.git/include/linux/compiler.h \
....
Could you please check this.
The line that says:
deps_arch/blackfin/kernel/vmlinux.lds := \ ....
list all the files that the .lds file is dependent on (the prerequisites).
For the config option BOOT_LOAD look for include/config/boot/load
Check that this file gets properly update on OS X.
