That's why I am fixing the problem.

Before the fix, the parallel build fails.


/usr/bin/mkimage: Can't read arch/microblaze/boot/linux.bin: Invalid argument
arch/microblaze/boot/Makefile:14: recipe for target
'arch/microblaze/boot/linux.bin.ub' failed

This is intentional to avoid a race in
"make simpleImage.<dt> linux.bin.ub"


But, I chose to make simpleImage* independent of linux.bin* in v2.

I hope you will like it.
