Er, "Unbreak the build by..." would suffice, no need to double-duplicate. ;) /-F > Signed-off-by: Andreas Färber <afaerber@suse.de> > --- > configure | 1 + > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) > > diff --git a/configure b/configure > index c2366ee..ba8cc7c 100755 > --- a/configure > +++ b/configure > @@ -3462,6 +3462,7 @@ done > > # use included Linux headers > if test "$linux" = "yes" ; then > + mkdir -p linux-headers > case "$cpu" in > i386|x86_64) > symlink "$source_path/linux-headers/asm-x86" linux-headers/asm

I think it would be better to just revert ec5b06d completely. The comment documenting the symlink() function says "# symbolically link $1 to $2. Portable version of "ln -sf" and "ln -sf" doesn't create the target directory, so symlink() should not either. -- PMM

It turns out that there are later changes to configure which rely on the auto-creation of the directory, so simple reversion isn't sufficient. Maybe your patch is the simplest fix after all. -- PMM

Commit ec5b06d (configure: ensure directory exists when creating symlinks) moved the creation of directories into the symlink() function but forgot the case where no symlink is created. This leads to build errors on arm Linux due to -I../linux-headers. Unbreak the build on arm Linux by reverting part of that commit.
