BTW, I did find where the kernel's top Makefile says: @echo 'Cleaning targets:' @echo ' clean - Remove most generated files but keep the config and' @echo ' enough build support to build external modules' Unfortunately, that's not true. Trying to build an external module fails because linux/bounds.h is missing. :/ I guess you just have to do a "make modules_prepare". -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! UH-OH!!
