Hi Arnd,

The introduction of "make *.config" as a shorthand for merging configuration files unfortunately introduced some build warnings that we see in every single run of the various build bots testing tinyconfig:
I am not convinced with this statement.
Why do you think 63a91033d52e is a bad commit?
With/without 63a91033d52e, I see the same warnings.

Sorry about, my mistake. I misread the original Makefile contents.
PHONY += tinyconfig -tinyconfig:
$(Q)$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/Makefile allnoconfig tiny.config+tinyconfig: $(obj)/conf
$(Q)$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/Makefile allnoconfig KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=$(wildcard $(srctree)/kernel/configs/tiny.config $(srctree)/arch/$(SRCARCH)/configs/tiny.config)# Help text used by make help help:
The dependency "tinyconfig: $(obj)/conf" is redundant.
It is already specified by:
allnoconfig allyesconfig allmodconfig alldefconfig randconfig: $(obj)/conf $< --$@ $(Kconfig)
I don't see that yet. How does this line provide the dependency?
What is worse, this patch breaks "make tinyconfig" on x86.
Right, Josh also pointed this out.
So, let's ignore my incorrect patch for the moment. Do you have any other idea for how to avoid the warning?
