    Move the final link of vmlinux to a script to improve
    readability and maintainability of the code.
    
    The Makefile fragments used to link vmlinux has over the
    years seen far too many changes and the logic had become
    hard to follow.
    
    As the process by nature is serialized there was
    nothing gained including this in the Makefile.
    
    "um" has special link requirments - and the
    only way to handle this was to hard-code the linking
    of "um" in the script.
    This was better than trying to modularize it only for the
    benefit of "um" anyway.
    
    The shell script has been improved after input from:
