Build problem in 2.5.61/sparc

[Pete Zaitcev]

Kai, would you mind to glance at this:

[zaitcev@lebethron ksrc]$ cp linux-2.5.59-sparc.config linux-2.5.61-sparc/.config
[zaitcev@lebethron ksrc]$ cd linux-2.5.61-sparc
[zaitcev@lebethron linux-2.5.61-sparc]$ make oldconfig
make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `scripts/fixdep', needed by `__build'.  Stop.
make: *** [scripts] Error 2
[zaitcev@lebethron linux-2.5.61-sparc]$

The last version I tried was 2.5.59. Also, 2.5.61 appears to work
for Rob, so, what am I doing wrong?

Yours,
-- Pete

Looks to me that you are missing scripts/fixdep.c
fixdep.c got updated recently and somehow you may have lost that file in the process?

FYI, it turned out that my make(1) was out of date. I was using
make 3.76.1. I upgraded to make 3.80 and everything works so far.
This is actually documented in Documentation/Changes.
As an added bonus, I get working $(CURDIR), so I may stop
commenting out ACPI now.
