The patch titled Fix spurious error on TAGS target when missing defconfig has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is fix-spurious-error-on-tags-target-when-missing-defconfig.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Fix spurious error on TAGS target when missing defconfig From: David Gibson <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Not all architectures have a file named 'defconfig' (e.g. powerpc). However the make TAGS and make tags targets search such files for tags, causing an error message when they don't exist. This patch addresses the problem by instructing xargs not to run the tags program if there are no matching files.
