I found a case where it does not work (not kernel related), I have
another one which works better.

Looks good in concept, but the CTFMERGE line needs the same
treatment like all the other ones in the .mk files. I want to commit
a suitable change today.

Does "same treatment" mean it should run silently too?  My personal

Yes.

opinion is that all ctfconvert and ctfmerge commands should show up in
the output of make iff they run.  I believe that used to be the case
before r206082.

Correct, and I agree.

The problem is the inverse-logic construct for the check if it shall be run or not which is consistent with all places where this is done. There is no easy way to only display a part of the command which is executed. It was decided by ... (jhb and rwatson?) to not display at all while we still have the default to without ctf (without the @ we will even have some display of something with ctfconvert or ctfmerge in the name, when no ctf info is put into the files). They want to have the default to with ctf when it is ready/stable enough. I assume that at this point the commands get shown again, as the handling of the with/without CTF stuff can be simplified in this case. It is not as easy as all the other with/without stuff we have, due to the fact that parts of the ctf stuff is in sys.mk, which is read before every other file.

Currently I want to finish the edge cases we noticed in a *consistent* way, to have something which is giving us stable behavior. After that I will go out of the loop and anyone is free to try/optimize what he wants (as long as I can get a kernel compiled with CTF info without much hassle, I do not care much what is done and how).

HTH,
Alexander.
