If 'make modules' doesn't check if the config change has hit a dependency that requires the core kernel image to be rebuilt, we need to fix that. 'make modules' depends upon the kernel image. At the very least, it should refuse to build the modules and tell the user what he needs to do first. All you've shown me is a bug in the build system, not a fundamental issue with module enables creating changes to the main kernel image. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
