People who build the kernel for embedded systems probably won't be happy if this is a new requirement. See e.g. "PATCH [0/3]: Simplify the kernel build by removing perl" (https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/2/20). Have you noticed that for other generated files a _shipped version is provided? > + > +$(obj)/scsi_devinfo_tbl.c: include/scsi/scsi_devinfo.h > + $(call if_changed,bflags) > + > # If you want to play with the firmware, uncomment > # GENERATE_FIRMWARE := 1 > > diff --git a/drivers/scsi/mktbl.pl b/drivers/scsi/mktbl.pl > [ ... ] > +my $prf; > + > +$prf = $ARGV[0]; > +open IN_FILE, "<$ARGV[1]" || die; > +print "\t/*\n\t * Automatically generated by ", $0, ".\n"; > +print "\t * Do not edit.\n\t */\n"; > +while (<IN_FILE>) { > + chomp; > + if (/^#define ${prf}_([^[:blank:]]*).*/) { > + print "\t{ ", $prf, "_", $1, ", \"", $1, "\" },\n"; > + } > +} > +close IN_FILE || die; Can this be done with sed?

Thanks, Bart.
