Hi, Xu Zhen <xuzhen@xxxxxxxxxxxx> reported on Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218825) thinlto build directory problem (especially on DKMS modules). He wrote: > In Makefile, the ld flag `--thinlto-cache-dir' is set to > `$(extmod_prefix).thinlto-cache'. But at that time, the variable extmod_prefix > had not been assigned yet. Therefore, the thinlto cache dir is always created > in the current directory. > > Even worse, the cache dir cannot be deleted when executing `make clean'. This > is because its path was written as `$(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/.thinlto-cache' in the > clean: target. > > Some users have been troubled by it: https://github.com/dell/dkms/issues/292 > > This bug was introduced by commit dc5723b02e523b2c4a68667f7e28c65018f7202f Thanks. -- An old man doll... just what I always wanted! - Clara
