    SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 04/13] initramfs: rename gen_initramfs_list.sh to gen_initramfs.sh
    (+CC Ben Hutchings, H. Peter Anvin)

    In my understanding, the klibc build system is standalone.
    So, the change in Linux kernel does not affect klibc at all.
    Only the depending part is UAPI headers (make headers_install).

    So, this patch
    (https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1175336/)
    should be OK.

    Please correct me if I am wrong.

    I do not think so.

    As I stated above, the klibc build system is independent of
    any script in the Linux kernel.

    The klibc Makefile refers to
    scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh, which does not exist.

    My path is renaming
    usr/gen_initramfs_list.sh to usr/gen_initramfs.sh


    If the renaming had been problematic for klibc,
    commit f6f57a46435d7253a52a1a07a58183678ad266a0
    ("initramfs: move gen_initramfs_list.sh from scripts/ to usr/")
    would have already caused a problem.



    Ben, Hans,
    Is usr/Kbuild in klibc used?
    If it is not used, is it better to delete it to avoid confusion?
