You cut one important line here:

| ifeq ($(CONFIG_WANXL_BUILD_FIRMWARE),y)

>>ifeq ($(ARCH),m68k)
>> ÂAS68K = $(AS)
>> ÂLD68K = $(LD)
>>else
>> ÂAS68K = as68k
>> ÂLD68K = ld68k
>>endif

The corresponding Kconfig entry reads:

config WANXL_BUILD_FIRMWARE
bool "rebuild wanXL firmware"
depends on WANXL && !PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD
help
Allows you to rebuild firmware run by the QUICC processor.
It requires as68k, ld68k and hexdump programs.

You should never need this option, say N.
