Hi list, I have a question about the kbuild system. On ARM architecture, after running "make s3c6400_defconfig", I do "make -d -j1 uImage". I found, [...] Putting child 0x0255c0b0 (scripts_basic) PID 23546 on the chain. Live child 0x0255c0b0 (scripts_basic) PID 23546 GNU Make 3.81 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

[...] I'm just curious where is the definition for <implicit prerequisite `scripts/basic/.fixdep.cmd_shipped'> ? Normally Gnu Make will try a lot of internal rules to deal with <`scripts/basic/.fixdep.cmd'>, why here Gnu Make stop trying internal ruls so quickly?
