Syslinux - Apr 2011 - [PATCH][git-pull] diag/geodsp/: Fixes/Improvements

git://git.zytor.com/users/genec/syslinux.git

Branch diag-geodsp-for-hpa

Numerous improvements, most notably that we no longer make 3 8MiB
images during a build, the .img.xz files will stay untouched after a
'make clean;make' and use the program variables from MCONFIG.

I'm still trying to figure out if there's a way to have/simulate a
prerequisite that is ignored when not present and the target is
otherwise up to date.

The nearest I can consider is replacing:

%.img.xz: %.bin mk-lba-img
	./mk-lba-img $< | $(XZ) -0 > $@

with:

%.img.xz: %.bin
	make mk-lba-img
	./mk-lba-img $< | $(XZ) -0 > $@

such that a 'make clean' deletes the host-specific binary and a
rebuild will proceed successfully but I'm not sure about the
parallelism (My make-fu is not strong enough).

The closest I can think of is:

MK_LBA_IMG = mk-lba-img.c $(shell ls mk-lba-img)

%.img.xz: %.bin $(MK_LBA_IMG)
	make mk-lba-img
	./mk-lba-img $< | $(XZ) -0 > $@

which satisfies everything I'm looking for except I don't know about
the parallelism part.  This also updates %.img.xz if mk-lba-img.c is
updated.
