I don't know. But I also don't want to have 'make modules_install install' on an arch without an install target appear to work, so I don't know how to do it in the kbuild core. That is, I don't want to define an install target; I just want to add a dependency if the target is already there. Also, this patch has a repeated ifneq. I'll fix it in v2. > > Sam -- Andy Lutomirski AMA Capital Management, LLC -- 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
