lib1funcs.S is reshipped even though the file hasn't changed because the make rule is marked with FORCE. According to Sam Ravnborg: The FORCE prerequisite will tell make to always execute the command. But we only want to execute the command if: 1) $(obj)/lib1funcs.S is missing 2) or $(srctree)/arch/$(SRCARCH)/lib/lib1funcs.S is not older then $(obj)/lib1funcs.S So dropping FORCE should be a safe thing to do. This fixes the shipped problem, but we still have to reassemble lib1funcs.S because it isn't part of $targets. Add lib1funcs.{S,o} to $targets to avoid relinking the compressed vmlinux if nothing changes.
