I beg your pardon guys, the deprecated 'make firmware_install' through me off 
the scent!  It seems that the blobs for Radeon R730 have changed with kernel 
4.14.7, from those the Gentoo Wiki shows.  So I'm fishing for errors in dmesg 
and adding one blob at a time to see what I get.  The kernel compile builds 
the blobs fine as I show below, even if the firmware_install is not used any 
longer.

  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  MK_FW   firmware/radeon/RV730_me.bin.gen.S
  AS      firmware/radeon/RV730_me.bin.gen.o
  AR      firmware/built-in.o
