when one tries to build a simple module against a "make distclean"ed
source tree, one gets:
ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.
include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.
Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it.
that diagnostic seems inaccurate in two ways.
first, "make oldconfig" is unnecessarily specific -- it should
really just say, "you must configure your kernel source first."
and second, "make prepare" should really say "make modules_prepare",
should it not?
anyone mind if i submit a patch?
