[kbuild-devel] [request for testing] kbuild: improving option checking

2007-01-24 Thread Oleg Verych
kbuild: improving option checking

 GNU binutils, root users, tmpfiles, external modules ro builds must
 be fixed to do the right thing now.

 In "safe" environment new /dev/null replacement may be use as simply as
 `echo > null', `gcc -o null'. In aggressive starting with $(null) is
 recommended.

 Feature: file $(objtree)/null isn't in any "clear" target (yet).

Kind of testing i never expected.

Are you serious?  If yes, here more spell things from there, take care
of the patch ;D
--
# Execute command if command has changed or prerequisitei(s) are updated
--
# Usage: $(call if_changed_rule,foo)
# will check if $(cmd_foo) changed, or any of the prequisites changed,
# and if so will execute $(rule_foo)
--

Anyway, i know for sure -- that "things" aren't variables ;D.
Variable $(space) == "hyper-space". You know, what i mean.

um ... it wasn't "testing," just a trivial observation.  happens
on the LKML all the time.
