Problem building the kernel with CONFIG_AIC7XXX_BUILD_FIRMWARE

[Adrian Bunk]

Hi,

building kernel 2.5.3-dj1 fails with CONFIG_AIC7XXX_BUILD_FIRMWARE enabled
with the following error (but it seems that this problem also exists in
the 2.4 kernels):

<--  snip  -->

The problem is that the -dj1 patch ships with a
drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aicasm/aicdb.h file although this is a generated
file.

The real problem is that there's a "clean" target in the Makefile in this
directory that removed this file - unfortunately this "clean" target never
gets executed because in the Linux kernel the "clean" target in one
directory doesn't execute call the "clean" target in the Makefiles in the
subdirectories.
