Subjectlinux-2.0.21 - Possible problem, second time kernel is built
--
Jay Gaeta <gaeta@picker.com>
Linus,

On my system, this problem is reproducible... I have only noticed this with
2.0.21...

The first time I unpack linux-2.0.21.tar.gz, and I do:
make mrproper
make xconfig
make dep;make clean;make zImage;make modules;make modules_install
the kernel is built with no problems.
(I then proceed with: make modules;make modules_install... everything works
great.)

Next I decided to rebuild the kernel a second time (I wanted to time how long
it took), so I did:
make dep;make clean;make zImage
[...]

make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers/sound'
make[1]: *** [sub_dirs] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/drivers'
make: *** [linuxsubdirs] Error 2

I've repeated this in it's entirety a couple of times with similar results.
Am I doing something wrong? I have not had any problems with previous kernel
patches/releases... Is there a "hidden feature" in the new mkdep.c ;) ?
Please let me know if I should provide additional information.

As long as I am sending you a message, here is a cosmetic problem that also
appeared (perhaps they are related):

make xconfig
rm -f include/asm

Note the tkparse.c:582: warning, and tkgen.c:674: warning. Also note that
the WARNING - broken Config.in! CONFIG_AEDSP16 was not declared! has been
in recent kernels for a while now.

By the way 2.0.21 seems to be working OK on my system: Pentium, 120MHz,
32Mbyte mem., MAD16 Sound board,...

Hope this is a useful message. Thanks for all your efforts.

Regards,
