This is major overkill. Just use the Makefile's builtin text
manipulation:
load-ld = $(subst 0xffffffff,0x,$(VMLINUX_LOAD_ADDRESS))
And note that a shell failure here would be entirely ignored, so the use
of die() in the proposed helper wouldn't actually stop a build, etc.

Isn't the special variable named ".PHONY"? (And also is that only for
things the don't get written to disk, but truncate32 is...)
