Did you read what I suggested at all? >From your answer I think not. Please go re-read my answer and realize that it is _kbuild_ that reates the copy of the file and thus things *just works*. kbuild (make) will see that foo.c is missing and create is using the rule I suggested: $(obj)/foo: $(src)/foo-prefix.c cat $< > $@ || (rm $@ && false) So you do _not_ have to specify c_flags or anything like that to make it work.
