Probably because the value of KSRC was passed on the command-line, but MODULE_LOC was only set in the environment. Command-line definitions override things set in the Makefile, which in turn override definitions from the environment. ?= means "set only if it's not already set", and a setting from the environment counts here.

I'll take a look at that; it seems like it might help with people's compilation issues. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
