Do you mean that instead of: comet:~/tip/tools/perf> cat PERF-VERSION-FILE #define PERF_VERSION "3.12.g953bfb" we should put a plain version into it? (the 'short' form you introduced earlier) And then this: Makefile.perf: $(QUIET_CC)$(CC) -include $(OUTPUT)PERF-VERSION-FILE \ Could be replaced with: Makefile.perf: $(QUIET_CC)$(CC) -D $(shell cat $(OUTPUT)PERF-VERSION-FILE) \ or so?
