Hi,
Trapped into two problems with 2.6.16-rc1:
(1) Building kernels with the source tree on a r/o filesystem
doesn't work any more because kbuild tries to create
$(srctree)/.kernelrelease and fails to do so.
(2) UML kernels don't build at all with a separate obj tree:
master-xen kraxel ~/objtree/vanilla-2.6.16-pre-um# make ARCH=um
gmake -C /home/kraxel/scratch/vanilla-2.6.16-pre
O=/home/kraxel/objtree/vanilla-2.6.16-pre-um
SYMLINK arch/um/include/kern_constants.h
ln: creating symbolic link `arch/um/include/kern_constants.h' to
`../../../include/asm-um/asm-offsets.h': No such file or directory
gmake[2]: *** [arch/um/include/kern_constants.h] Error 1
gmake[1]: *** [cdbuilddir] Error 2
gmake: *** [all] Error 2
Ideas/Patches anyone?
Gerd

There was a recen thread about these... let me see:
Look for "[PATCH 2/2] kbuild: fix make -jN with multiple targets with make
O=..." from Sam Ravnborg on 2006-01-16
[It is pushed out at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sam/kbuild.git]

Ok, the .kernelrelease issue is fixed meanwhile, I still see the UML
build failure though. That triggers also without "make -j", so it is
probably a different bug ...
