Try this:

do_install_prepend() {
        if test ! -e arch/${ARCH}/boot/uImage ; then
            if test -e arch/${ARCH}/boot/Image ; then
               ln -f arch/${ARCH}/boot/Image arch/${ARCH}/boot/uImage
            fi
        fi

        if test ! -e arch/${ARCH}/boot/uImage ; then
            if test -e arch/${ARCH}/boot/images/uImage ; then
                 ln -f arch/${ARCH}/boot/images/uImage
arch/${ARCH}/boot/uImage
            fi
        fi

        if test -e arch/${ARCH}/kernel/vmlinux.lds ; then
             ln -f arch/${ARCH}/kernel/vmlinux.lds arch/${ARCH}/boot/vmlinux
        fi
}
