[lm-sensors] [patch] KERNELVERSION=2.6.12-something make

[jcromie@divsol.com (Jim Cromie)]

attached patches allow making with setting in environment.

it apparently is effective only right after make clean,
but dependencies are remembered in all the foo.d files


Separately, Ive been trying to hack around my lack of
include/linux/modversions.h,  which is not present in the 2.6.12, 13-rc
trees that Ive built

Ive tried turning off CONFIG_MODVERSIONS,
despite some ifdefs in some of the code that suggest it shoul help,
I get almost nowhere doing so.


is modversions.h a synthesized file (written based upon config) ?
is it a holdover from earlier kernel releases ?
