A circular dependency would mean that besides the expected dependency there is also one of include/Makefile on include/xlat.lst. Where is that? I'm not aware of anything include/Makefile depends on. Is there any dependency being introduced in this series, perhaps by way of new (generated) dependency files? It would be good to have a clear understanding of the issue - as you describe it, it could as well be a make flaw. The adjustments themselves look okay to me, but of course they don't help readability. Jan
