+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.
