Assuming the makefiles are non-broken. Some of the 'depend' targets in the source tree are very dubious. kdump, ktrace and sysinstall are three targets which usually refuse to rebuild generated files when dependencies change (and 'make depend' does nothing). > running cleandir twice still left me after 'make all' with: > > makedevs.c:54: syntax error before ',' token > makedevs.c:60: syntax error before ',' token > *** Error code 1 What is the relevant part of the file?
