Subject: [PULL] kbuild fixes for -rc1

Hi Linus.

Please pull the following two fixes for kbuild.
One fix for make rpm (which is also stable material)
And one fix so we are more robust for wrong asm symlinks

None of these has been in -next but they are trivial and
I would like to see them applied soon.

Thanks,

	Sam
