I assume debian soon will update make to current version from CVS that
has this behaviour removed.
So long as it just requires a tools update then that's fine for me.
I should note here that it was agreed with Paul that upcoming make
relase will not have this change, but next release will have it.
So 2.6.17 kbuild will take care of being forward compatible in this
matter.
Wouldn't it be better to have an option to tell make to assume the old
behavior? I only skimmed the original thread but it didn't seem terribly
complex thing to do. A LOT of people will be doing things on pre-2.6.17
kernel for quite some time and they will be cursing a lot if they have
to rebuild everything everytime.
Thanks.
