Hi,

I am now seeing the following every time I run a build:

  GEN     Makefile
  CALL    .../linux-rmk/scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh
  CALL    .../linux-rmk/scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready
  AS      arch/arm/boot/compressed/lib1funcs.o
  AS      arch/arm/boot/compressed/ashldi3.o
  AS      arch/arm/boot/compressed/bswapsdi2.o
  LD      arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux
  OBJCOPY arch/arm/boot/zImage
  Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready

In other words, those three objects are always rebuilt even though
they haven't changed.

I've tried removing the arch/arm/boot/compressed directory in the
build tree, but that doesn't make any difference.

Running with V=2 shows:

  AS      arch/arm/boot/compressed/lib1funcs.o - due to lib1funcs.o not in $(tar
gets)
  AS      arch/arm/boot/compressed/ashldi3.o - due to ashldi3.o not in $(targets)
  AS      arch/arm/boot/compressed/bswapsdi2.o - due to bswapsdi2.o not in $(targets)

It looks to me like:
OBJS    += lib1funcs.o ashldi3.o bswapsdi2.o

in your patch should have been added before:

targets       := vmlinux vmlinux.lds piggy_data piggy.o \
                 head.o $(OBJS)

Please confirm.
