I don't see it mentioned in Documentation/kbuild except as one line in an example... I thought $(obj) and $(src) should be used outside of the core kbuild infrastructure, and in this case wouldn't it be $(src) anyway? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
