Here's a small kbuild quirk I noticed on 2.6.25rc2. I tried to rebuild the obj file of a assembler file (.S) with make path/to/file.o. Normally when I do this for .o file only its dependencies and and the object file are built as I expect. But with an assembler file (like arch/x86/kernel/head_64.o) kbuild starts to rebuild everything. -Andi - 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
