Turns out the subdir relevant to the config item hits the make builtin to get the file (since it had been missing), but then kbuild assembles, links, links, and finally removes the .c file. This will be done everytime, since the .c file is now gone. While a preemptive bk -r get is the obvious solution here (or even a after the fact bk get $missing.c), is this a possible very small buglet in kbuild? Here's some relevant output: get net/irda/irlan/SCCS/s.irlan_client.c net/irda/irlan/irlan_client.c 1.8: 565 lines CC net/irda/irlan/irlan_client.s as -o net/irda/irlan/irlan_client.o net/irda/irlan/irlan_client.s LD net/irda/irlan/irlan.o LD net/irda/irlan/built-in.o rm net/irda/irlan/irlan_client.c And only the net/irda/irlan/.irlan_client.s.cmd is created. thanks, -chris -- Linux Security Modules http://lsm.immunix.org http://lsm.bkbits.net
