I've downloaded the l4re-core-2010070715.tar.bz2 archive, and I've tried to build the project. I have no problem compiling the Fiasco.OC kernel, but the L4Re core build seems to be entering an infinite loop. After running for a few seconds, I get the following lines repeated forever:
All checked ok. scripts/kconfig/conf -s [l4dir]/mk/Kconfig scripts/kconfig/conf -s [l4dir]/mk/Kconfig make[11]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
I also noticed that I get this same infinite loop if I do make config (after the menu exits) or make oldconfig. Something about the post-config clean-up seems to be continuously forking new processes and looping. The comment at line 179 of the [l4dir]/Makefile indicates that make is called again for postprocessing, but I don't know make well enough to debug this problem. Any ideas what's causing the problem? I've included the output below for reference.
Thanks, Michael Kirkpatrick
