Oops; my mistake.  I've got a trivial patche in my tree that need to
be merged for the build to work.  I'll get those out ASAP.

In the mean time, add "simpleImage%" to the BOOT_TARGETS line in
arch/powerpc/Makefile.  That will allow you to do:

$ make simpleImage.virtex405-<blah>

where virtex405-<blah> corresponds with a file named
arch/powerpc/boot/dts/virtex405-<blah>.dts

Cheers,
g.
