Actaually foo.c is common file for kernel space and
user space and bar.c is only a part of kernel space.
Anyway if we can change object file name for all
source file without changing source file name, then
also no issue but I just want to know whether it is
possible or not.
I tried to hard to find out way to put object file in
differnet directory not in source directory, to change
a name of individual object file or all object file,
other then source name.
But didn't find any clear idea in internet or kbuild
documentation.
I think in case of 2.4 lots things is possible because
we are using it as normal makefile.
Thanks
