While building kernel you need to have separate flags for internal objects and for host programs. First, I thought I need to separate it as you say, but perf build is separated from kernel built process, so AFAICS we can use obj-y with no harm in perf. It's quite possible I missed something and kbuild folks prove me wrong ;-) The Makefile.kbuild defines flags to be used for obj-y. jirka -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
