-Subject: [PATCH] gard: Fix Makefile race condition
-
-Commit fd599965 added some dependencies in 'external/pflash'
-for libflash files that are created via symlink.  Replicate
-that same behavior in 'external/gard' to prevent race conditions
-where we attempt to compile files from libflash before they are
-symlink'd.
