Hi,
You can cause a recursion in kbuild/make with the following: make O=$PWD kernel/time.o make mrproper Of course no one would use O=$PWD (that's just the testcase), but this happened too often: /ws/linux/linux-2.6.23$ make O=/ws/linux/linux-2.6.23 kernel/time.o (Oops - should have been O=/ws/linux/obj-2.6.23!) The make O=$PWD truncates the Makefile, making it necessary to run `git checkout Makefile` - should you have git; or reextract the tarball (should you /still/ have it). Well, can we catch this case somehow? thanks, Jan - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
