Do you > still have the same issue? !CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS or !865563924022d8 builds just fine with extra `make prepare'. no `extra make prepare' builds ok regardless the state of Makefile/config files. I guess you don't need my .config any more. -ss -- 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
