In message <003001c09b4c$48226f90$1200a8c0@gsicomp.on.ca> "Matthew Emmerton" writes: : A surprising number of things get recompiled when the slightest change is : made to a kernel configuration. I've often wondered myself why removing one : line (such as psuedo-device bpf) forces lots of stuff to be recompiled (like : the ahc driver). This is due to a bug in kmod.mk that I've been testing a fix for. The short answer is that it is because all the targets depend on the symbolic link, which means that if the directory changes, they get recompiled. I'll go ahead and commit this later today if I can find time to hook up my laptop.
