Hello,
Once in a while make fails when source tree is distcleaned (mrproper).
Actually it is while trying to compile scripts/mod/empty.c.
The error is because empty.o depends on some headers from arch/<arch>/include/generated/asm/.
>From my analysis I see that there is a race between two targets one is scripts_basic and the other is asm-generic (both in main Makefile).
First target in make job:
running target asm-generic to generate all wrappers in architecure include/generated.
Second target in make job:
trying to compile scripts/mod/empty.c since it is under target "always" which is dependency for __build (see scripts/Makefile.build).
My naive patch for main Makefile is:
# Basic helpers built in scripts/
PHONY += scripts_basic
-scripts_basic:
+scripts_basic: asm-generic
$(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=scripts/basic
$(Q)rm -f .tmp_quiet_recordmcount
Please comment.
