kernel makefiles broken?

Hi,

I've noticed on two machines now that the kernel makefiles seem to have changed their behaviour. One x86 RH-based, and one parisc debian based.

make seems to ignores errors from gcc, and only stops when trying to link. On a PARISC box, I've seen the build get all the way though to successfully linking vmlinux, even with compilation failures. Obviously not ideal, since vmlinux may not reflect reality.

It looks like this change might have broken kbuild:

See the exchange between Adrian Bunk and Kai under the "Linux v2.5.40 - and a feature freeze reminder" thread.

Hi Russell,

known bug, already fixed in Linus' BK tree, patch is below.
