Notation: kbuild = kernel build utilities, now = 'kbuild-2.4' + 'CML1' + Configure.help. Thus kbuild is not only Makefiles.

There was no real maintainer of Makefiles. giacomo - 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/
