I was hoping with the recent patch e78e8f2 (kernel: prevent unnecessary rebuilding due to config_data.gz, 2011-07-05) compiling ARM linux a second time would amount to no more linking. This doesn't seem to be the case though. Doing a make V=2 I see that lib1funcs.S is shipped and thus we have to recompile it although nothing actually changed. This in turn requires us to relink the compressed vmlinux and then recreate the zImage. Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready SHIPPED arch/arm/boot/compressed/lib1funcs.S - due to missing .cmd file AS arch/arm/boot/compressed/lib1funcs.o - due to: arch/arm/boot/compressed/lib1funcs.S LD arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux - due to: arch/arm/boot/compressed/lib1funcs.o OBJCOPY arch/arm/boot/zImage - due to: arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready Is there any way to avoid this? Perhaps the shipped command could become a bit wiser? -- Sent by an employee of the Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc.
