Bug List

21 January 1999

Michael Elizabeth Chastain, 

- If a variable has a value of "m" in the previous .config file,

  and a type of bool in the Config script, then all the interpreters

  get confused.  This happens frequently when someone changes a

  tristate option to a bool option and people in the field have

  .config files with a value of 'm'.  For example: CONFIG_PSMOUSE.

- CONFIG_MODVERSIONS has incorrect dependencies.  If you have a

  problem building the kernel, and you have CONFIG_MODVERSIONS turned

  on, do a 'make dep' followed by 'make clean' before you try anything

  else.

- 'make dep' uses multistage dependencies, so the .hdepend file contains

  'touch' commands.  As a result, building a kernel often touches files

  in include/linux/*.h.  This messes up CVS and other systems which like

  to rely on file dates.

- 'make dep' fails for C files which include other C files, such as

  drivers/cdrom/sbpcd2.c.
