2 # Makefile.basic list the most basic programs used during the build process.
3 # The programs listed herein is what is needed to do the basic stuff,
4 # such as splitting .config and fix dependency file.
5 # This initial step is needed to avoid files to be recompiled
6 # when kernel configuration changes (which is what happens when
7 # .config is included by main Makefile.
8 # ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

10 # split-include: Divide all config symbols up in a number of files in
12 # docproc: Used in Documentation/docbook

15 always := $(hostprogs-y)
17 # fixdep is needed to compile other host programs
