Now I'm building a: make ARCH=arch KBUILD_OUTPUT=.build_arch/ But a: make ARCH=arch KBUILD_OUTPUT=.build_arch/ mrproper Will not help. What the Makefile wants is a: make mrproper doing the "make mrproper" does solves it. It used to be fine, I'm not sure when it started to break. How can I debug this to see what is the offending files? Thanks Boaz
