Re: linux-3.9.0-rc1+: Output from "make kernelrelease"contains incorrectdata

[Chris Clayton]

Ping!

This is still happening with 3.9-rc5.

[chris:~/kernel/linux]$ make bzImage
...
Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready  (#14)
[chris:~/kernel/linux]$ make kernelrelease
scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
3.9.0-rc5
[chris:~/kernel/linux]$ make kernelrelease
3.9.0-rc5

I'm assuming that the output from 'make kernelrelease' should be the 
string that represents the kernel release and only that string.
