Hi Linus,

in some cases "make dep" can fail with

  "/bin/sh: scripts/mkdep: Arg list too long"

So it does on AIX (cross compiling for x86).
I would suggest to use

  "find <blah> | xargs scripts/mkdep"

when generating $(TOPDIR)/.hdepend instead of

  "scripts/mkdep `find <blah>`"

The appended patch is for 2.4.0-test6.

regards,

Frank
