And this is the makefile for mounts.o:
#
# Makefile for the linux kernel.
#
obj-y := main.o version.o mounts.o
ifneq ($(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD),y)
obj-y += noinitramfs.o
else
obj-$(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD) += initramfs.o
endif
obj-$(CONFIG_GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY) += calibrate.o
mounts-y := do_mounts.o
mounts-$(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM) += do_mounts_rd.o
mounts-$(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD) += do_mounts_initrd.o
mounts-$(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD) += do_mounts_md.o
# dependencies on generated files need to be listed explicitly
$(obj)/version.o: include/generated/compile.h
# compile.h changes depending on hostname, generation number, etc,
# so we regenerate it always.
# mkcompile_h will make sure to only update the
# actual file if its content has changed.
chk_compile.h = :
quiet_chk_compile.h = echo ' CHK $@'
silent_chk_compile.h = :
include/generated/compile.h: FORCE
@$($(quiet)chk_compile.h)
$(Q)$(CONFIG_SHELL) $(srctree)/scripts/mkcompile_h $@
"$(UTS_MACHINE)" "$(CONFIG_SMP)" "$(CONFIG_PREEMPT)" "$(CC)
$(KBUILD_CFLAGS)"
Seems to be OK, but then I don't know what to make of the last part
starting with "# compile.h changes..."
Maybe something wrong here.
