Aha! Thanks Jerry... all the posts I saw on the subject (including one by |
| 17 |
Alan Cox) suggested starting with a clean tree which did work me (no deps at |
| 18 |
that point). I think your suggestion was in fact my problem. At any rate it |
| 19 |
was suggested that the makefiles in recent kernels are somehow broken. Not |
| 20 |
sure if this is actually the case, but.... |
