Sonne:/usr/src/linux # MY_OUTDIR=/usr/src/obj/linux/2.6.23.1/x86_64/adjusted && rm -rf $MY_OUTDIR/* Sonne:/usr/src/linux # unset KBUILD_OUTPUT && make mrproper CLEAN .config Sonne:/usr/src/linux # cp -p /boot/config-2.6.23.1-0-adjusted .config Sonne:/usr/src/linux # make O=$MY_OUTDIR oldconfig && date && echo XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX && make -j3 O=$MY_OUTDIR && echo YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY && make -j3 O=$MY_OUTDIR modules_install install && echo ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ && date HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep HOSTCC scripts/basic/docproc GEN /usr/src/obj/linux/2.6.23.1/x86_64/adjusted/Makefile HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/kxgettext.o SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/lex.zconf.c SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.hash.c HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/conf scripts/kconfig/conf -o arch/x86_64/Kconfig * * Linux Kernel Configuration * [...] # # configuration written to .config # Fri Oct 26 20:30:39 CEST 2007 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX GEN /usr/src/obj/linux/2.6.23.1/x86_64/adjusted/Makefile scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86_64/Kconfig GEN /usr/src/obj/linux/2.6.23.1/x86_64/adjusted/Makefile CHK include/linux/version.h UPD include/linux/version.h CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h UPD include/linux/utsrelease.h SYMLINK include/asm -> include/asm-x86_64 Using /usr/src/linux-2.6.23.1 as source for kernel /usr/src/linux-2.6.23.1 is not clean, please run 'make mrproper' in the '/usr/src/linux-2.6.23.1' directory. make[1]: *** [prepare3] Error 1 make: *** [_all] Error 2 make: INTERNAL: Exiting with 4 jobserver tokens available; should be 3!
