Hi. I'm running an up-to-date Debian unstable system, so I've got the -rc1 make installed. When I build a kernel for the machine, make seems to believe that everything is always out of date, so the build would be performed as if I'd done a 'make mrproper' and removed all the object files. Even if I start a build, then kill it at some point during the build, the next time I resume a build everything appears out-of-date.
I went and grabbed the beta4 release from alpha, built and installed it, and that 'make' does not display the unexpected behavior of -rc1. As the -rc1 release seems to have a different (buggy?) way of dealing with kernel builds, I'm mailing the list to see if others are seeing this behavior. I scanned the list today and didn't see this problem mentioned, but that the official 3.81 release is planned to happen shortly, so if this is indeed a bug it needs to be squished promptly. Thanks.
