You can also just remove $BUILDDIR/aarch64-softmmu-config-devices.mak.d I think, which will cause us to realise we need to regenerate config-devices.mak. I haven't ever been able to figure out why this stuff fails. We have had several bugs in the past here, and if you have a build-tree that predates those getting fixed you can have stale stuff in the tree that means that even after the makefile fixes they still don't take effect. But I suspect there's still a bug in there somewhere. thanks -- PMM
