[kbuild-devel] Specifing a makefile other than "Makefile"

[Timur Tabi]

I'm working on a driver for the 2.6 Linux kernel, which uses kbuild.  I 
don't know if my question is specific to the Linux kernel or kbuild.  It 
appears that when I try to compile a driver, my makefile needs to be 
called "Makefile".  Is there any way around this?  I'd like to have two 
makefiles, "Makefile-2.4" and "Makefile-2.6" and then have a master 
makefile, "Makefile" decide which makefile to use depending on whether 
I'm compiling under a 2.6 kernel or a 2.4 kernel.

The problem is that the master kernel makefile appears to have the 
filename "Makefile" hard-coded everywhere.  Can this be fixed easily? 
Is there a reason why the filename is restricted?
