Hi, I often run 'make foo/bar.o' as part of my workflow, even when bar.o is not specified in any kernel makefile, and this has worked just fine for years. This is broken after commit 394053f4a4b3e3eeeaa67b67fc886a9a75bd9e4d (kbuild: make single targets work more correctly) and just gives an error: $ make kernel/test.o CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh CALL scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh DESCEND objtool make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'kernel/test.o'. Stop. scripts/Makefile.build:502: recipe for target '__build' failed make[1]: *** [__build] Error 2 Makefile:1670: recipe for target 'kernel' failed make: *** [kernel] Error 2 For top-level objects (e.g. 'make bar.o') the situation is even worse, since make exits with status 0 without building anything :-/ Is there any chance we can get this back? It was super useful for me. Vegard
