They are generated by kbuild. See scripts/Kbuild.include: # Execute the command and also postprocess generated .d dependencies file. if_changed_dep = $(if $(strip $(any-prereq) $(arg-check) ), \ @set -e; \ $(echo-cmd) $(cmd_$(1)); \ scripts/basic/fixdep $(depfile) $@ '$(make-cmd)' > $(dot-target).tmp;\ ==> rm -f $(depfile); \ mv -f $(dot-target).tmp $(dot-target).cmd) If you delete the line marked "==>" then you should have .d files are a build. > > From your previous posting it looks like you have some special setting > > that impact your choice of HOST gcc. > > Do you define HOSTCC somewhere? > > > I don't think I do define HOSTCC anywhere.
