[PATCH] powerpc: fix build with make 3.82

Thomas Backlund reported that the powerpc build broke with make 3.82.
It failed with the following message:

    arch/powerpc/Makefile:183: *** mixed implicit and normal rules.  Stop.

The fix is to avoid mixing non-wildcard and wildcard targets.

Hi Ben / Paul.

This fixes powerc build with latest make version.
The patch is on top of 2.6.35.
But it is more of a coincidence that we see a make release
right now and this issue is also present in older kernels.
So I have added a "Cc: stable <stable at kernel.org>" because
I consider this relevant for the stable kernel releases too.

@Michal - you got a copy as information only.
I fear we may see this bug for other parts of the kernel too.

	Sam
