You should be able to avoid the extra copy altogether by doing something ala:

$(obj)/lib1funcs.o: $(srctree)/arch/arm/lib/lib1funcs.S
? ? ? ?$(call cmd,as_o_S)

note that I also remove the $(SRCARCH), as there is no other
`arch/*/lib/lib1funcs.S' than `arch/arm/lib/lib1funcs.S'

I withdraw this proposal and will hack around this to find a proper
solution from within kbuild, and eventually come back on these uses
:-)

Any progress on this?

I have a patch doing multiple similar $(call cmd,shipped) at the moment 
and this is far from looking nice.
