Good idea. I'll explore this too. Currently the scripts abuse the headers_install target directory and leave cruft like these .c files and the hacked up libc headers around. I was planning to clean these up when actual headers are clean of compiler errors and when integrating this compile check to 'make headers_check'. -Mikko -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
