some combinations of make targets do not work anymore

some combinations of make targets do not work anymore

[Olaf Hering]

Stuff like that used to work with 2.4 kernels, 2.6.2-rc2-mm2 runs make
oldconfig and depmod, but 'all' and 'modules_install' is not executed.
Bug or feature? target is ppc32.

2.4:
/usr/bin/time make oldconfig dep zImage modules modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=`pwd` 2>&1 | tee log
2.6
/usr/bin/time make oldconfig all modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=`pwd` 2>&1 | tee log

Unexpected to say it. I have noticed some time ago, but since noone complained...
I will take a look.

Hi Olaf.

I took a look at this. The logic that I introduced when moving the *config
target to scripts/kconfig/Makefile had this side-effect.
To fix it I have to do too much changes to the top-level Makefile - and I do
not see such a big benefit here.

So unless someone comes with good arguments I will let the current non-optimal
behaviour stay.
