I don't think it non-intuitive, it's how libraries work. However, as you say, it is broken for files containing EXPORT_SYMBOL. The obvious fix for this case is the one that akpm mentioned way earlier in this thread, move parser.o into $(obj-y). It should be rather easy to have the kernel build system warn you when you compile library objects exporting symbols. --Kai - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
