It looks good to me, except I would split out the part that builds the
test object a bit, so it is easier for people to see where they link
their application in (or indeed use this makefile to provide object
that they then just do final link to in another makefile).

I would post to the openmirage list, as they seem to be the other
people using minios - they did the arm fixes, which are not yet
upstream.
