Neither does the code which recreates the Makefile. No. The problem is that top-level dependency rules for perl/Makefile are simply _wrong_. It claims it depends on some things (which is true), but then it totally ignores _other_ things that it also depends on. Further, even if it was right, the rules to actually _generate_ the Makefile then seems wrong, in that it cares about files it shouldn't care about in the first place. So why do that at all? Why accept such crap? Linus
