(which is why I changed things the > way I did.) I am aware of that. It does not happen in the usual situations where it would have become visible. One example is "make oldconfig" where it appears, but there is so much other output that I avoided to introduce special support to avoid it. You see the same with asm-offset.h. We could avoid that with a hack in Makefile.build, but I have resisted to do it, again to avoid special cases.
