kbuild: make V=2 tell why a target is rebuild
tell why a a target got build enabled by make V=2 Output (listed in the order they are checked): (1) - due to target is PHONY (2) - due to target missing (3) - due to: file1.h file2.h (4) - due to command line change (5) - due to missing .cmd file (6) - due to target not in $(targets) (1) We always build PHONY targets (2) No target, so we better build it (3) Prerequisite is newer than target (4) The command line stored in the file named dir/.target.cmd differed from actual command line. This happens when compiler options changes (5) No dir/.target.cmd file (used to store command line) (6) No dir/.target.cmd file and target not listed in $(targets) This is a good hint that there is a bug in the kbuild file This patch is inspired by a patch from: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Cc: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
