arm, powerpc, riscv, build .aux.o targets with implicit pattern rules in dependency chains that cause them to be made as intermediate files, which get removed when make finishes. This results in unnecessary partial rebuilds. If make is run again, this time the .aux.o targets are not intermediate, possibly due to being made via different dependencies. Adding .aux.o files to .PRECIOUS prevents them being removed and solves the rebuild problem. s390x does not have the problem because .SECONDARY prevents dependancies from being built as intermediate. However the same change is made for s390x, for consistency.
