   sparc: refactor Makefile
The btfixup step needs knowledge of all the .o files,
   but there is no need to pass them in independent variables.
   Simplify it to use only two variables.

Hi Robert.

Can you try to add the following patch on top of
the " sparc: refactor Makefile" patch.

This was the only difference I could see in my
limited testing here.

I hand applied it to yesterdays sparc-next and it seems to have fixed it.

I'll do some more testing tonight when I have the time.
