That's a while back. :)

I did a git blame and nothing has changed recently.  And
I saw nothing really changing since we merged the
qemuprep* BSPs.

I will send you my entire build log privately.

But it looks like the beatnik BSP and others reference
preload.S as part of their startup asm. motorola_shared
does not. But that has been part of that BSP forever.
I just don't see what changed.
