The dependencies in tools/lib/bpf/Makefile are incorrect. Before we recurse to build $(BPF_IN_STATIC), we need to build its 'fixdep' executable. I can't use the usual shortcut from Makefile.include: <target>: <sources> fixdep because its 'fixdep' target relies on $(OUTPUT), and $(OUTPUT) differs in the parent 'make' versus the child 'make' -- so I imitate it via open-coding. I tweak a few $(MAKE) invocations while I'm at it, because 1. I'm adding a new recursive make; and 2. these recursive 'make's print spurious lines about files that are "up to date" (which isn't normally a feature in Kbuild subtargets) or "jobserver not available" (see [1]) I also need to tweak the assignment of the OUTPUT variable, so that relative path builds work. For example, for 'make tools/lib/bpf', OUTPUT is unset, and is usually treated as "cwd" -- but recursive make will change cwd and so OUTPUT has a new meaning. For consistency, I ensure OUTPUT is always an absolute path. And $(Q) gets a backup definition in tools/build/Makefile.include, because Makefile.include is sometimes included without tools/build/Makefile, so the "quiet command" stuff doesn't actually work consistently without it. After this change, top-level builds result in an empty grep result from: $ grep 'cannot find fixdep' $(find tools/ -name '*.cmd') [1] https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/MAKE-Variable.html If we're not using $(MAKE) directly, then we need to use more '+'.

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 reStructuredText 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.
