I use git bisect to find out the possible commits to lead this problem:

Thanks for the report, I'll have a look. 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!
Michal

Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Avoid circular dependency with zImage.%

The rule to create the final images uses a zImage.% pattern.
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
