[Xen-devel] [RFC v2] xen/arm: build: add missed dependency for head.S

[Wei Chen <wei.chen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In current Xen build rules, the build system will only check the
dependencies in current folder and obj-y generated dependencies
in other folder.

But Makefile may add some objects to ALL_OBJS. These objects may
be not in the same folder as Makefile. Use arch/arm/Makefile as
an example:
    ALL_OBJS := $(TARGET_SUBARCH)/head.o

The head.o is not in the same folder as Makefile and is not listed
in obj-y. So, when we update the header files that had been included
in head.S. The build system would not check the dependency of head.S.
The head.S would not be re-compiled.

In this patch, we will get objects added by Makefile and add their
dependencies to check list.
