Hi, I have a question about the top-level Makefile # The all: target is the default when no target is given on the # command line. # This allow a user to issue only 'make' to build a kernel including modules # Defaults vmlinux but it is usually overridden in the arch makefile all: vmlinux >From the last comment, arch makefile will override vmlinux. It seems vmlinux will not be checked by `make'. But from my test, although `all:' will be re-defined in arch Makefile (ARM arch), vmlinux will still be checked and the commands associated will be executed. Should we use another word instead of "overridden"?
