If I do not come up with a solution soon, I'll revert the series.I have yet to test this, but can you try the patch below? Thanks!

Unfortunately, this also matches the names of the zImage.*.lds linker scripts, which appear as a dependency of the final images. This somehow worked when $(srctree) used to be an absolute path, but now the pattern matches too much. List only the images from $(image-y) as the target of the rule, to avoid the circular dependency.
If merged, this should of course have a Reported-by: Mike Qiu [off-list ref] Michal
