Failed to make dep bombing where it tries to find at91.
See error message:
http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~listarch/microblaze-uclinux/archive/2004/06/m
sg00057.html

I looked and never found any at91 anywhere in the source tree.

|A lot of the vendor/XXX/YYY/Makefile's copy their images into

My comments were mainly towards John's how-to but as a suggestion, maybe
reverse the polarity of the variable to say BUILD_INTO_TFTPBOOT where
the variable would be used to specify the location.  If not defined then
just don't copy it.  I did make a writable /tftpboot dir just to make
sure it wasn't supposed do anything else, and it didn't.  Once I saw
that it was done making and that this was an unnecessary step I looked
around for where to define it, found nothing, and exported it as
NO_BUILD_INTO_TFTPBOOT=1.

Thanks,
