tools/testing/selftests

[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

whinges, perrmanits, maybe I'm doing it wrong, etc.

a)

At the top-level, neither `make mrproper' nor `make clean' remove the
executables from tools/testing/selftests/mm/.  Seems wrong?

b)

Shouldn't I be able to run

	make selftests

from the top level?

c)

tools/testing/selftests/mm
make clean
make

does:

  CC       guard-regions
  CC       merge
  CC       rmap

why did it start emitting the gcc command lines?

d) within tools/testing/selftests/mm:

	make clean
	make -j100

   compiles 3-4 things then ends.

   A subsequent `make -j1' compiles nothing.

   Whereas

	make clean
	make -j1

   compiles everything.  Slowly.

Thanks.
