Fix external module compilations

When compiling an external module, the compilation errors out, when scripts/basic/fixdep and later on scripts/mod/modpost is being requested. The removal of 'make -C $kerneldir _mrproper_scripts' fixes these problems.

The following changes since commit 340cc366c7feff983a85f9e9ae8ae1f537239f5b:

  gcc-4.5: Edit defaults.h in ${B} instead of ${S}, and t-oe in ${B} (2011-07-02 22:40:22 +0200)

When compiling external modules, scripts/basic/fixdep and scripts/mod/modpost, is wanted. Do not remove too much from the staged kernel sources.

Forget about this e-mail.
I've just sent an new one, with meta-oe in the subject.

It is a bit sad that these sorts of changes need to be done twice. Is there a compelling reason why meta-oe needs to maintain its own version of kernel.bbclass rather than sharing it with oe-core?

p.

Yes, it is certainly a sad state.

The primary difference seems to be some changes in the uImage-related code, and that meta-oe has some initramfs-support in its kernel.bbclass.

Can someone with deeper knowledge comment on this? I guess that it shouldn't be any real problems in getting the initramfs support code merged into oe- core.

What about the differences in the uImage code? (I haven't really looked into the differences).

Cheers,
Anders
