I do not understand the 'x' either. Michal suggested the code according to the following: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3291301/ (I hope Michal can help you.) My first guess was, it was added just in case $(MAKEFLAGS) is empty. Actually $(firstword ) seems to work with empty argument, though. -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
