I can live with that - just. The help text for each of the build formats must be duplicated, even though VMLINUZ_X86 is _identical_ to VMLINUZ_IA64. People who read the rules might think that VMLINUZ has different formats on the two architectures. I see lots of comments in my coding future ... If you get a chance to review the symbols-occur-in-one-place-only assumption, it would be nice. In the meantime I will do it the long way. _______________________________________________ kbuild-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kbuild-devel
