The odd thing I have in a specific configuration is that depmod is
missing the kernelrelease when I only build install rules, though I
had built everything before and kernelrelease should be there:

 $ make <makeflags>
 $ make <makeflags> modules_install zinstall
 ...
   DEPMOD  
 Usage: .../scripts/depmod.sh /sbin/depmod <kernelrelease>

Note that makeflags include the -j option, INSTALL_MOD_PATH and
INSTALL_PATH variables set, so no root perms required in this case.

I agree, the fix to add a dependency to the kernelrelease file is
wrong here since it rewrites the object tree, which should be readonly
for install rules.

I could reproduce the error above in my setup and will look at it
again, hopefully fixing it more carefully.

Appologize the trouble this made.

Thanks,

-Robert
