According the the linux Makefile: ### # Cleaning is done on three levels. # make clean Delete most generated files # Leave enough to build external modules The kernel Makefile should not be deleting it. And indeed: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11475 This was addressed by the following in 2.6.27: 7d3cc8b6d899e53222c22a78d98bb53a695f7962 Don't clean bounds.h and asm-offsets.h Later, bounds.h moved as well in 2.6.33: 01fc0ac198eabcbf460e1ed058860a935b6c2c9a kbuild: move bounds.h to include/generated Which kernel version are you attempting to build? We shouldn't add code to address a bug in a specific kernel version in a kernel base class. That belongs in the specific recipe. I suggest trying to add the 7d3cc8b6d899e53222c22a78d98bb53a695f7962 patch to your kernel recipe and see if that resolves the issue for you without resorting to recreating the clean process in the base class. -- Darren > I did this quick hack to work around it: > > --- a/meta-oe/classes/kernel.bbclass > +++ b/meta-oe/classes/kernel.bbclass > @@ -159,7 +159,8 @@ kernel_do_install() { > # we clean the scripts dir while leaving the generated config > # and include files. > # > - oe_runmake -C $kerneldir CC="${KERNEL_CC}" LD="${KERNEL_LD}" clean > + find $kerneldir -name "*.o" -delete > + #oe_runmake -C $kerneldir CC="${KERNEL_CC}" LD="${KERNEL_LD}" clean > make -C $kerneldir _mrproper_scripts > find $kerneldir -path $kerneldir/scripts -prune -o -name "*.[csS]" -exec rm '{}' \; > find $kerneldir/Documentation -name "*.txt" -exec rm '{}' \; > > I'm not convinced that the above is the right way to solve it, but I > lack the required kbuild knowledge to come up with a better one.
