The patch appears to work but is it worth applying now? The existing 2.4 rules work fine and the entire kbuild system will be rewritten for 2.5, including the case you identified here. It struck me as a decent change but for no benefit and, given that the 2.4 kbuild system is so fragile, why not live with something we know works until 2.5 is available? - 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/
