Hi,
Just had some problems doing a modules_install with
fileutils-1.1.1-1 (redhat rawhide). The cp command
in there gives a non-zero return value when it is asked
to copy the same file in the argument list:
mkdir bar
cp foo foo bar
cp: will not overwrite just-created `bar/foo' with `foo'
and returns with return value of 1.
This will break 'make modules_install' as it often adds the same module
file as cp argument.
A quick hack:

(1) Complain to the fileutils maintainer for introducing incompatible
behaviour.
(2) The correct workaround is
cp -f $(sort $(ALL_MOBJS)) $(MODLIB)/kernel/$(MOD_DESTDIR)$(MOD_TARGET)

Or to RedHat who introduced this fileutils in their tree (but then again,
it is Rawhide so I have nothing to complain about :-)

shouldn't this then be 'sort -u'.
