Subject: build-sys: do not depend on check_rundir for executables From: Michael Tokarev To: linux-raid@vger.kernel.org The problem is that the link lines will always be executed even if the executables are up to date. If anything, this check_rundir should be a dependency of install target, or some other "phony" target like this, since check_rundir is phony by itself.
