 Well, it's an old known problem caused by inconsistency of
 KERNEL_SUFFIXES handling between src/etc/Makefile (for GENERIC etc) and
 src/distrib/common/Makefile.mdset (for md image ones), but they are
 too hard to read for me...
 
 sgimips has had the same problem for ecoff ones.

 Hmm, because they use
 >>MDSET_POST.netbsd.aout-INSTALL= \
 rather than
 >>MDSET_SUFFIXES.-=       aout create-aout
 for multiple kernels?
 
 I prefer netbsd-FOO.aout.gz names than netbsd.aout-FOO.gz ones,
 so I think we should fix src/etc/Makefile.
 
 Anyway, this problem should be handled in another PR
 because it isn't shark specific.
