Remove it from the printed 'objname' variable.
This patch actually tripped me up today. Turns out I have both: build/kernel/sched/core.o build/kernel/sched/.tmp_core.o and ended up staring at the wrong file and going WTF because the offsets didn't match. I much prefer the actual real filename printed. Yes the .tmp_ crud is weird, but at least its the real file.
