[PATCH] No forced rebuilding of ikconfig.h

[PATCH] No forced rebuilding of ikconfig.h

[Smurf]

Why does ikconfig.h require forced rebuilding?
I can't think of a reason...

Would you describe the problem, if any?

Since I removed linux/compile.h and linux/version.h from
kernel/configs.c (as in -test6), I don't see any rebuilding
happening.  When does it happen?

Also, what kernel version are you referring to???

It was rebuilding every time.

Ah. Thank you.

*Sigh* I am sorry I forgot that. I really should know better.  :-/

Since it works now, the correct answer to that one seems to be "sometime 
before -test6".

You know the joke where the Jewish father berates his son for using too many 
words in a telegram... well, seems I need to learn not to do that.  :-(

Your parentheses always match.

Check Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt, search for if_changed.
