This '+' was added a long time ago: | commit c23e6bf05f7802e92fd3da69a1ed35e56f9c85bb (HEAD) | Author: Kai Germaschewski <kai@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> | Date: Mon Oct 28 01:16:34 2002 -0600 | | kbuild: Fix a "make -j<N>" warning | | diff --git a/scripts/Makefile.clean b/scripts/Makefile.clean | index 2c843e0380bc..e7c392fd5788 100644 | --- a/scripts/Makefile.clean | +++ b/scripts/Makefile.clean | @@ -42,7 +42,7 @@ quiet_cmd_clean = CLEAN $(obj) | | __clean: $(subdir-ymn) | ifneq ($(strip $(__clean-files) $(clean-rule)),) | - $(call cmd,clean) | + +$(call cmd,clean) | else | @: | endif At that time, cmd_clean contained $(clean-rule), which was able to invoke sub-make. That was why cleaning with the -j option showed: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1. Add '+' to parent make rule. It is not the case any more. cmd_clean now just runs the 'rm' command. The '+' marker is pointless.
