Subject: make -C tools clean failure on older systems
Date: Thu, 14 May 2015 12:12:25 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150514151225.GH23588@kernel.org> (raw)

Hi,

	In:

 -------------
commit 67d8712dcc70aa16d8e14a52eb73870e3cbddfc2

    selftests: Fix build failures when invoked from kselftest target

 -------------

You cleaned two variables using different methods, any reason for that?

I asked because the 'undefine' method causes it to fail in older
systems:

[acme@rhel5 linux]$ make -C tools/ clean
<SNIP>
  CLEAN    python
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
  DESCEND  testing/selftests
make[1]: Entering directory
`/home/acme/git/linux/tools/testing/selftests'
Makefile:30: *** missing separator.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/acme/git/linux/tools/testing/selftests'
make: *** [selftests_clean] Error 2
make: Leaving directory `/home/acme/git/linux/tools'

Wonder if it would be ok to use:
