Hrm... I'm not clear on why this is necessary. I understand why you need
bounds.h... but I don't see why it isn't there already.

A few lines up we do:

cp -fR * $kerneldir

Which should cover include/generated/bounds.h...

Perhaps "make -C $kerneldir _mrproper_scripts" clears that out... Ah,
yes, that seems to be the case. Grumble.

OK,
