Hello kernel hackers,
I have an alpha version of my all-singing all-dancing Makefiles:
<ftp://ftp.shout.net/pub/users/mec/patch/makefile.2126>
Here are some highlights:
separate source and target trees read-only source tree can have multiple target trees per source better makefile structure auto dependencies with gcc -MD, no more 'make dep'. command dependencies (automatically recompiles when options change) make works correctly from subdirectories much more parallel-friendly rewritten vmlinux -> zImage commands, works with binutils 2.5, 2.6, 2.7 works around bug in binutils 2.7.0.2 that bit modules squeezes empty 4k page out of resident kernel (!) 447 lines of Documentation/makefiles.txt. Many option settings moved from Makefiles into configuration. CONFIG_SMP, CONFIG_SMP_PROC. CONFIG_BOOT_RAMDISK. VGA boot-time configuration.
And here are some things not done yet:
only architecture is i386 no drivers/sound yet no genksyms
