  Could you clarify a bit more what the use case is? Then we can consider 
if there are maybe better ways to achieve it.


  Also, a properly formatted patch has a commit message which is 
formatted as follows: a single summary line of max. 80 characters, an 
empty line, one or more paragraphs explaining why the patch is necessary, 
your Signed-off-by line, a line containing three dashes, the patch 
changelog (if you resubmit it). Look at other patches on the list for 
examples. And you should send the patch with git send-email or similar, 
so that whitespace is retained and we can comment in-line.


  Regarding the patch itself: why do you pass $(TARGET_DIR) as an 
argument? Since the 'dirs' step comes after the 'prepare' step, 
$(TARGET_DIR) doesn't exist yet...


  Regards,
  Arnout
