Huh?

$ grep SRC- libbb/Makefile.in 
LIBBB_SRC-a:=$(wildcard $(srcdir)/*.c)
LIBRARY_SRC-y+=$(LIBBB-y)
LIBRARY_SRC-a+=$(LIBBB_SRC-a)

where obviously
$ grep denote Makefile 
# -a denotes all while -y denotes the selected ones.

The only thing which may be not ok is that we may use these only for IMA
and not for the legacy build. As said, i'll look into that later.
