From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> commit b5642479b0f7168fe16d156913533fe65ab4f8d5 upstream. If all net/wireless/certs/*.hex files are deleted, the build will hang at this point since the 'cat' command will have no arguments. Do "echo | cat - ..." so that even if the "..." part is empty, the whole thing won't hang.
