Ah, I understand the problem now. In fact patch 6 fixes this, because the 'force' dependency on the $(KERNEL_SRC)/arch/arm/boot/uImage target means we will always run the rule for that target, ie we will always invoke the kernel makefile and ask it to make sure the uImage is up to date. (I just tested this and it does do the right thing.) I hadn't spotted this wrinkle, or I'd have combined the two patches somehow instead. -- PMM
