When selecting BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_ISO9660 and BR2_TARGET_SYSLINUX_ISOLINUX,
Linux fails to build until "make linux-menuconfig" is run. It would seem that
the kernel is expecting output/images/rootfs.cpio to exist, but it does not
unless linux-menuconfig is run.

Once linux-menuconfig has been run once, the problem disappears until I rm -rf
everything in output/images. Then running linux-menuconfig again solves the
issue. 

Obviously the workaround is to run linux-menuconfig, but trying to build in a
freshly checked out copy of our repo always fails.


A branch of our repo that is identical except it does not have
BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_ISO9660 and BR2_TARGET_SYSLINUX_ISOLINUX set does not see
this issue.
