Variables such as $(CONFIG_IDE) are four-state and >for the module case they are simply set to "m". But then you can use >"ifeq ($(CONFIG_IDE),m)". Another approach is to invent an additional >variable automatically set to "y" whenever CONFIG_IDE is enabled. obj-$(subst m,y,$(CONFIG_IDE)) += ide-std.o ide-no.o ide-std.o ide-no.o are built in if CONFIG_IDE is m or y.
