From 1cacc9ab8bf10e60b3ed93d7a10b070c4cbc6c9f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam Ravnborg Date: Thu, 6 Dec 2007 22:20:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: fix building with redirected output. Jan Altenberg reported that building with redirected input like this failed: make O=dir oldconfig bzImage < /dev/null The problem were caused by a make silentoldconfig being run before oldconfig and with a non-recent .config the build failed because silentoldconfig requires non-redirected stdin. Silentoldconfig was run as a side-effect of having the top-level Makefile re-made by make. Introducing an empty rule for the top-level Makefile (and Kbuild.include) fixed the issue.
