    SubjectCheck handling of kernel build output directory
    Date
    Hello,

    Two ways are mentioned in the Makefile for the Linux kernel 2.6.31.1 to specify output
    diretories. The description of the environment variable "KBUILD_OUTPUT" is missing from
    the file "README".

    I am trying to generate all executable files for the current stable kernel release on my
    openSUSE 10.3 system.

    Sonne:/usr/src/linux # make mrproper
    Sonne:/usr/src/linux # cp -p /boot/config-2.6.23.1-0-adjusted .config
    [reactivate backup copy]

    Sonne:/usr/src/linux # export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/usr/src/obj/linux/2.6.23.1/x86_64/adjusted
    Sonne:/usr/src/linux # make silentoldconfig
    HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
    HOSTCC scripts/basic/docproc
    GEN /usr/src/obj/linux/2.6.23.1/x86_64/adjusted/Makefile
    HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o
    HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/kxgettext.o
    SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c
    SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/lex.zconf.c
    SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.hash.c
    HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o
    HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/conf
    scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86_64/Kconfig
    ***
    *** You have not yet configured your kernel!

    ***
    make[2]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 1
    make[1]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 2

    Another try:
    Sonne:/usr/src/linux # make oldconfig
    [...]
    #
    # configuration written to .config
    #
    Sonne:/usr/src/linux # date && echo XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX && make -j4
    && echo YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY && make -j4 modules_install install &&
    echo ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ && date

    GEN /usr/src/obj/linux/2.6.23.1/x86_64/adjusted/Makefile
    scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86_64/Kconfig
    GEN /usr/src/obj/linux/2.6.23.1/x86_64/adjusted/Makefile

    Using /usr/src/linux-2.6.23.1 as source for kernel
    /usr/src/linux-2.6.23.1 is not clean, please run 'make mrproper'
    in the '/usr/src/linux-2.6.23.1' directory.
    make[1]: *** [prepare3] Error 1
    make: *** [_all] Error 2
    make: INTERNAL: Exiting with 5 jobserver tokens available; should be 4!

    Does this error message correspond to the open issue that was described in the bug report
    "make randomly fails with interrupted system call on slower filesystems with parallel builds"?
    http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?14853

    When this happens, there is always one more token available than I've specified by the
    parameter "-j". If I ommit it, I get the following result.

    Sonne:/usr/src/linux # date && echo XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX && make &&
    echo YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY && make modules_install install && echo
    ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ && date

    The option to build into a specific output diretory is unusable on my system so far. Would
    you like to share any ideas to resolve this unpleasant situation?
