Is this a new policy? Modules in the kernel are not built unless you want them. Even in arch/powerpc/platforms, only the specific platform file I'm targeting is built. So I don't really understand why you claim it's normal for platform-specific files to be built, regardless of the actual platform. And frankly, I don't like this "policy". Build bugs for 4xx should not interfere in my 83xx development. I can't build any kernels now because of this bug! -- Timur Tabi Linux Kernel Developer @ Freescale _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
