I suspect that the build system actually picks up and builds both targets because each of them meets the SPECS as defined for the build directory. The problem is that the targets are named the same. So the symlink in '<build-dir>/bin' is overwriten by the target last visited. To check this assumption, you may have a look at the content of the build locations for the two drivers in question: <build-dir>/drivers/uart/spec/linux <build-dir>/drivers/uart/spec/x86 I presume that each of those locations contains the respective executable. The best way to solve the ambiguity would be to give your driver a distinct name, e.g., by adding the following line in your 'spec/linux/target.mk' file: TARGET = linux_uart_drv Now, both drivers should appear in the bin/ directory side by side.
