The kernel doesn't need to know how many object were linked in.. why would it? it just cares about the final ko object. Try passing KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 to make if you're interested in seeing what objects were linked in to produce your kernel module. But the Makefile holds all the information you'd need. Also checkout Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt in the kernel tree. hope this helps, -Joel -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
