`make C=1` instead of `make -C=1`

Which phrase is qualified by "only"?

[1] re-compiled c source only
[2] only with $$CHECK

I know [1] is what you mean (sorry for my nitpicking).


Perhaps, "Check only re-compiled c source with $$CHECK" is even clearer?

(or, just drop "only" because "re-compiled c source" is understandable enough ?)


Could you use "kbuild: " instead of "Top Makefile" in the subject?

Thanks.
