Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source
I am attempting to build my modules for 2.6.14-2-k7, and this fails. The failure is because the Makefile 
in <headers>/scripts/basic attempts, incorrectly (AFAICT) to build "fixdep" instead of 
using the "fixdep" that is already in the directory:

linux# make-kpkg modules
/usr/bin/make    \
                                ARCH=i386 oldconfig
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.14-2-k7'
 HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
gcc: scripts/basic/fixdep.c: No such file or directory
gcc: no input files
make[2]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 1
make[1]: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.14-2-k7'
make: *** [stamp-kernel-configure] Error 2

That's probably my fault, even though I would think that if Makefile would 
be written correctly, and fixdep binary already present (and it is 
present), then it would not try to rebuild it. Can you please confirm that 
it builds fine if you remove scripts/basic/Makefile?

Best regards,
