It is good practice to add build infrastructure last - so build is not broken.
But for a new architecture it matters only little.

Some comments in the following.

If you keep this list sorted then merge issues are less likely.

All Nios2 specific options should be prefixed with NIOS2_
This is what is done for all new arch specific symbols.

Add:
targets += vmlinux.bin vmlinux.gz vmImage
to make $(call if_changed ... actually work.

This is much more readable.
