Because of the recursive definition in ia64 asm-offset.c, where the file has to exist with a dummy line before it can be generated, we end up with this recursive dependency. arch/ia64/kernel/asm-offsets.s -> include/asm/asm-offsets.h (.cmd file) include/asm/asm-offsets.h -> arch/ia64/kernel/asm-offsets.s (explicit) Every 2.6.14-rc1 build rebuilds asm-offsets.s, because it asm-offsets.h is newer. Which then rebuilds asm-offsets.h, which in turn rebuilds everything else. Best solution: remove (and forbid) recursive definitions in asm-offset.c. Kludge 1: edit arch/$(ARCH)/kernel/.asm-offsets.s.cmd to remove include/asm/asm-offsets.h. Kludge 2: Build arch/$(ARCH)/kernel/asm-offsets.s as a temporary file then check if it has changed or not, only updating the real arch/$(ARCH)/kernel/asm-offsets.s if there is any change. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Tue Sep 13 16:33:32 2005
