Hi Wolfgang,

Note: I had to disable the simple and very convenient rule %: %_config $(MAKE) in the top level Makefile, because it caused each invocation of "make" to fail with an error message:
make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile_config'. Stop.Fixes welcome!
I think adding the following line somewhere in the Makefile should allow the %:%_config rule to be re-enabled:
Makefile:;
Maybe I spoke too soon... It seems that make looks for other files that are dependencies, but don't have explicit rules. Like include/autoconf.mk, config.mk, etc. Linux has a number of implicit rule overrides (search for implicit in its top-level Makefile) that appear to be for the same type of issue. This seems like a somewhat hokey fix to have a number of empty rules defined though. Any better ideas or comments on why this issue didn't exist before?
Best, Peter
