If this doesn't show anything wrong, then try running the script manually with shell tracing turned on. cd scripts sh -x gen_initramfs_list.sh This doesn't look like a compiler issue. It looks more like an issue with your system, or with the kernel sources that you have extracted. The only thing happening here is that a shell script is being run from make. I don't see how this could have happened unless something is wrong with your system. What OS name and version are you using? What shell program and version? What make program and version? -- Jim Wilson, GNU Tools Support, http://www.specifix.com
