[Buildroot] Linux build error: mixed implicit and normal rules

[Buildroot] Linux build error: mixed implicit and normal rules

[Woody Wu]

Hi, list

I am trying to build an old Linux kernel 2.6.16. But got the error:

Makefile:441: mixed implicit and normal rules. stop.

The line 441 of Linux makefile is:

config %config: scripts_basic outputmakefile FORCE
	$(Q)mkdir -p include/linux
	$(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=scripts/kconfig $@
	$(Q)$(MAKE) -C $(srctree) KBUILD_SRC= .kernelrelease

How should I fix this?  My buildroot version is 2012.08.

Thanks in advance!

Not related to Buildroot, but anyway...

If you used GNU make version 3.82 you need something like (kernel) commit 
3c955b407a084810f57260d61548cc92c14bc627 (fixes for using make 3.82).

Many thanks and sorry for asking such a stupid question (I only used svn
in my project)
