Well in my case, `make oldconfig` did copy the older configuration properly for me. >> $ make modules_prepare >> $ make modules SUBDIRS=drivers/gpu/drm/radeon >> >> or equivalent: >> >> $ make drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon.ko >> >> both fails with: >> >> ld: arch/powerpc/lib/crtsavres.o: No such file: No such file or >> directory >> >> Easy fix is obviously: >> >> $ make arch/powerpc/lib/crtsavres.o >> >> It would be nice to have proper deps setup. > > You should raise this upstream as it has nothing to do with the Debian > packaging. Just to understand correctly, the Makefile currently reads as: $ grep -3 CONFIG_476FPE_ERR46 arch/powerpc/Makefile KBUILD_LDFLAGS_MODULE += arch/powerpc/lib/crtsavres.o ifeq ($(CONFIG_476FPE_ERR46),y) KBUILD_LDFLAGS_MODULE += --ppc476-workaround \ -T $(srctree)/arch/powerpc/platforms/44x/ppc476_modules.lds endif So `CONFIG_476FPE_ERR46` does not need to be explicitly set within Debian setup, and must be a legacy variable that does not work anymore nowadays (and thus is indeed a bug upstream). Thanks for clarification.
