the phony bzImage target in the ppc Makefiles is not helping anything, rather it just changes the confusion from `why doesn't make bzImage work?' to `where is my bzImage?' lets not hide users ignorance lets teach them instead. the attached patch replaces the phony bzImage target with a error explaining that bzImage is x86 only and to use zImage instead. please apply.
I agree that it's a stupid thing to do (and, btw, 'bzImage' on m68k is, or was anyhow, a bzip2 image adding to the fun) but this came in, intentionally, from Paul exactly because the system said 'Now use make bzImage'. Maybe this can die in 2.5, but I haven't paid attention in some time. -- Tom Rini http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
