The dependencies in tools/lib/bpf/Makefile are incorrect. Before we recurse to build $(BPF_IN_STATIC), we need to build its 'fixdep' executable. I can't use the usual shortcut from Makefile.include: <target>: <sources> fixdep because its 'fixdep' target relies on $(OUTPUT), and $(OUTPUT) differs in the parent 'make' versus the child 'make' -- so I imitate it via open-coding. I tweak a few $(MAKE) invocations while I'm at it, because 1. I'm adding a new recursive make; and 2. these recursive 'make's print spurious lines about files that are "up to date" (which isn't normally a feature in Kbuild subtargets) or "jobserver not available" (see [1]) After this change, top-level builds result in an empty grep result from: $ grep 'cannot find fixdep' $(find tools/ -name '*.cmd') [1] https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/MAKE-Variable.html If we're not using $(MAKE) directly, then we need to use more '+'.
