Dear Fabio,

D*mn.  I really thought I had tried this in a dash based
environment, too.  Sorry for causing such confusion.

Yes, if this is really a bash only feature that would be an easy way
to fix it.

Yes, this would work - but I'm not sure if everybody would appreciate
such a change?

This should also work - replace the line

	@(echo $$(($(CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT))); wc -c $@ ) | \

by

	@(awk "END { print $$(echo $(CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT)) }" /dev/null; wc -c $@ ) | \


Can you please try this out?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
