| - If a variable has a value of "m" in the previous .config file, |
| and a type of bool in the Config script, then all the interpreters |
| get confused. This happens frequently when someone changes a |
| tristate option to a bool option and people in the field have |
| .config files with a value of 'm'. For example: CONFIG_PSMOUSE. |
| |
| - CONFIG_MODVERSIONS has incorrect dependencies. If you have a |
| problem building the kernel, and you have CONFIG_MODVERSIONS turned |
| on, do a 'make dep' followed by 'make clean' before you try anything |
| else. |
| |
| - 'make dep' uses multistage dependencies, so the .hdepend file contains |
| 'touch' commands. As a result, building a kernel often touches files |
| in include/linux/*.h. This messes up CVS and other systems which like |
| to rely on file dates. |
| |
| - 'make dep' fails for C files which include other C files, such as |
| drivers/cdrom/sbpcd2.c. |
