Which is what I would expect. So why are these things compiling into
the kernel even if they're not selected? Or am I missing something
about the process? Kernel 2.6.13.3 here. Thanks.
If you go look, you will notice that all of those built-in.o are zero bytes large. We've already fixed this in kernel 2.6.14 by preventing the build of these empty units with the following patch (you can safely apply it to 2.6.13.y):
Don't build empty built-in.o when DVB/V4L is not configured.
Thanks to Sam Ravnborg and Keith Owens.
