I'm wondering if a patch to scripts/Makefile to have
make -C scripts kconfig.tk
automatically
touch /usr/include/linux/autoconf.h
if it didn't exist would be appropriate to
fix this libc5 problem with autoconf.h
(your comments are appreciated)
If I attempt to install/test a new 2.3.4x)
kernel on a system that is libc5 based, I need to
touch /usr/include/linux/autoconf.h
before I can get "make xconfig"
to compile tkgen.c
It seems that files that attempt to include
#include <linux/config.h>
(like /usr/include/linux/types.h)
that want to include
/usr/include/linux/autoconf.h
can't be build until autoconf.h exists.
I think this is because libc5 installation
wants
/usr/include/linux
to be a symlink to
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/
but /usr/src/linux/include/linux/autoconf.h
isn't created until after make xconfig
This is the output from make xconfig
after
creating /usr/src/linux from linux-2.3.47.tar.bz2
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts kconfig.tk

After
touch /usr/include/linux/autoconf.h
I can make xconfig, and attempt to build bzImage
