Description Richard Wackerbarth 1994-11-18 14:50:02 UTC 
Makefile cannot "make links" to allow sharing between similar kernels.
You are supposed to be able to make GENERIC and then make links to those
objects which do not depend on the options.

Makefile chokes on "swapkernel" entry in CFILES.

It needs a prefix path.

Fix: 

Generate a file reference of ./swapkernel in the Makefile.
In config/mkmakefile.c

<                               fprintf(fp, "%s ", swapname);
---
>                               fprintf(fp, "./%s ", swapname);
How-To-Repeat: cd /sys/compile/GENERIC
make
cd /sys/compile/xx
make clean
make links

Please fix or pass on to appropriate individual. 
Make links is still supported in the makefile so I'm going to treat 
this like a software bug instead of a documentation bug.  It would be nice 
if this worked.
