Just trying to compile a new kernel for a 4/300.  Makefile.sparc has a file
list SFILES that contains (for GENERIC) :

  SFILES= $S/arch/sparc/sparc/bsd_fdintr.s \
          $S/arch/sparc/sparc/amd7930intr.s

If you try to configure a machine with neither floppy nor audio, you will end
up with an empty SFILES definition, and make depend will be unhappy.

Is the appended patch a reasonable solution?
