Subject: make menuconfig

Hi all,

I only just noticed this, but been building kernel source for a long time. On
my 233 over ssh, it is a bit slow, and I just noticed this output when doing
a 'make menuconfig':

make[1]: `scripts/fixdep' is up to date.
scripts/kconfig/mconf arch/i386/Kconfig
optimize && ?
optimize && ?
optimize && ?
optimize && ?

Are the optimize && ? lines normal? I investigated, but can't work it out.
This is from a current tree that has an uptime of > 50 days - I just needed
to change one option in the build, so the existing .config is good.

Thanks,

Nick

They are only debug prints, but I'm quite sure they are fixed in recent
versions.

Could you specify "current tree"?

Yes, sorry, my bad wording. This is kernel 2.6.4 from kernel.org. I meant
_my_ 'current' tree that runs perfect on the 233 box. I can't seem to
upgrade to later 2.6.x kernels as I get curious swapd oops after a few hours,
but that is another story.

So I can ignore the debug prints?

Thanks,

Nick

OK, thanks for your replies. I am since trying 2.6.10 again (with new GCC
version and system memory this time), and the messages do not appear in later
version of menuconfig as you stated.
