GAS_STATUS = $(shell $(srctree)/arch/ia64/scripts/check-gas "$(CC)" "$(OBJDUMP)") CPPFLAGS += $(shell $(srctree)/arch/ia64/scripts/toolchain-flags "$(CC)" "$(OBJDUMP)" "$(READELF)") ... this will obviously cause problems if you have no cross-compiler, which you really shouldn't need if all you're doing is installing headers, anyway. the headers_install step still works, but it would be cleaner if the Makefile didn't try to do things like check for proper assembler when there's no call for it. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
