Recent kernel versions have broken compatibility with GNU Make version 3.80 here and there: $ git describe v4.11 $ make --version | head -1 GNU Make 3.80 $ make defconfig HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep scripts/Makefile.host:135: *** missing separator. Stop. make: *** [defconfig] Error 2 $ make ARCH=arm64 help arch/arm64/Makefile:43: *** unterminated call to function `warning': missing `)'. Stop. $ make help >/dev/null ./Documentation/Makefile.sphinx:25: Extraneous text after `else' directive ./Documentation/Makefile.sphinx:31: *** only one `else' per conditional. Stop. make: *** [help] Error 2 The first breakage was introduced by commit c8589d1e9e01 ("kbuild: handle multi-objs dependency appropriately"). Since then (i.e. v3.18), GNU Make 3.80 has not been able to compile the kernel for years, but nobody has ever complained (noticed) about it. Even GNU Make 3.81 is more than 10 years old. It would not hurt to match the documentation with reality instead of fixing makefiles. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> --- Hi Linus, You acked this change already.
