Hmm, shouldn't the .srec, .bin, etc. files be only built for the "boot"
goal, like it is done for other platforms that have to use something other
than "vmlinux" for bootstrap? Otherwise the default goal produces
possibly unnecessary clutter -- an .srec file is hardly ever less than
10MB, so if you make a few of them, you end up consuming disk space rather
quickly.
Just a point -- I do not care personally as I have already been hit by
problems like this in the past and to avoid surprises I now use specific
goals, like `make vmlinux' or `make vmlinux.32'.
