PPC uImage build not reporting correctly

Sam,

Tom pointed me at you to look at a makefile issue with arch/ppc/boot/images/Makefile. When I do the following:

$ make uImage
CHK include/linux/version.h
make[1]: `arch/ppc/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
CHK include/linux/compile.h
CHK usr/initramfs_list
UIMAGE arch/ppc/boot/images/uImage
Image Name: Linux-2.6.12-rc3
Created: Fri May 6 10:19:28 2005
Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
Data Size: 993322 Bytes = 970.04 kB = 0.95 MB
Load Address: 0x00000000
Entry Point: 0x00000000
Image: arch/ppc/boot/images/uImage not made

The issue is that the file arch/ppc/boot/images/uImage does exit (the 'not made' is not correct).

$(obj)/uImage: $(obj)/vmlinux.gz
$(Q)rm -f $@
$(call if_changed,uimage)
@echo ' Image: $@' $(if $(wildcard $@),'is ready','not made')

It seems the $(wildcard $@) expands at the start of the rule. Any ideas?
