The default for 'make' is that environment variables do _not_ override variables defined in the Makefiles. You can change that behaviour with the -e flag, 'CHECK=foo make -e bzImage C=1' should work. 'info make' recommends against using -e, changing environments can lead to unexpected side effects. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
