Hi, Linux 5.0 (and thus Linux-libre 5.0-gnu, which is what I'm interested in :-) brought with it a requirement of a newer GNU make, in that at least make-kpkg needs that to work. I worked around that by reverting some of the patches that broke it.
That got worse in 5.1, and I've just given up on trying to adjust the top-level Makefile to work. Not finding a newer GNU make package in the gnewsense4 repos, I went ahead and built for local use a new version of GNU make on the yeeloong used for builds, and dropped the Makefile patches I was using or trying to use for 5.0-gnu and 5.1-gnu builds. I wonder if we could have newer GNU make packages readily available on gNewSense, so that others could rebuild the kernel to their liking, or whether I shouldn't even be using make-kpkg there any more, and I'd be better off with some other kernel building and packaging machinery I'm unfamiliar with. Suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance, -- Alexandre Oliva, freedom fighter he/him https://FSFLA.org/blogs/lxo Be the change, be Free!
