Sorry I was not clear enough.
I dont see a .dtb file anywhere after building the kernel, it just isnt
there.
I can see mention of libfdt and if_changed_dep,bootcc in the Makefile, but,
... I guess I am not quite a Makefile guru.
Maybe some dependency is not being satisfied that I need to setup in .config
somewhere?
