  ok, so what's the "make" invocation to get one of those?  i'm not a
ppc expert so i don't know much about device trees.  i tried the
following:

$ make ARCH=powerpc cuImage.tqm8xx
  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/generated/utsrelease.h
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  CALL    arch/powerpc/kernel/systbl_chk.sh
/home/rpjday/karim/el/ws/tqm860/kernel/linux-2.6.37/scripts/dtc/dtc -O
dtb -o arch/powerpc/boot/tqm8xx.dtb -b 0 -p 1024
/home/rpjday/karim/el/ws/tqm860/kernel/linux-2.6.37/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/tqm8xx.dts
DTC: dts->dtb  on file
"/home/rpjday/karim/el/ws/tqm860/kernel/linux-2.6.37/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/tqm8xx.dts"
  WRAP    arch/powerpc/boot/cuImage.tqm8xx
powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: arch/powerpc/boot/cuboot-tqm8xx.o: No
such file: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/boot/cuImage.tqm8xx] Error 1
rm arch/powerpc/boot/tqm8xx.dtb
make: *** [cuImage.tqm8xx] Error 2

  so i'm open to suggestions.
