Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] Revert "build: Use filechk rules to create and update u-boot.lds"

Hi Jon,

...

What is worse is $(call filechk) is too strong to fix the problem and looks weird.

I'm sure I don't understand that critique at all. "Looks weird"?

The linker script is processed by C-preprocessor. It means the dependency of included files should be tracked to decide if the linker script should be updated or not. This is the same as the rule of generationg objects. ( *.c -> *.o or *.S -> *.o)

$(call filechk ) does not do this dependency tracking and always runs the preprocessor.

The why it looks weird to me.
