right, the .S files don't have the prefix on the filename anymore.  i noticed
that and looked through the tree and couldn't see why it would be a problem.
there is one or two places where the exact object file name is used (the
MATHOBJS_IN_LIBC which pulls a small number of libm objects out to copy into
libc.a).

i'm going to push the fix now and we can revisit if someone points out a
problem with it.
