The $ofile is the end result to boot using kboot (2nd stage kernel).
otheros.bld is the end result to write to FLASH ROM (1st stage kernel).

The funny thing is that we pass `-o arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.ps3' to the
wrapper script (which indicates the _output_ file, i.e. $ofile, as per the
documentation at the top of the wrapper script), while this output file is
no longer created by the wrapper script!
Instead it creates arch/powerpc/boot/zImage.ps3.elf.

So I do think your change broke the expected and obvious behavior.
