There is no build order among the following: prepare3 outputmakefile asm-generic $(version_h) $(autoksyms_h) include/generated/utsrelease.h It is meaningless to insert the prepare2 target between the first three and the last three. The comment says, "prepare2 creates a makefile if using a separate output directory." Let me explain it more precisely. The prepare targets cannot be executed without the .config file. Because the configuration targets depend on the outputmakefile target, the generated makefile is already there before the parepare2 is run.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
