# We are using a recursive build, so we need to do a little thinking to get the ordering right. Most importantly: sub-Makefiles #should only ever modify files in their own directory. If in some directory we have a dependency on a file in another dir (which #doesn't happen often, but it's often unavoidable when linking the built-in.o targets which finally turn into vmlinux), we will call #a sub make in that other dir, and after that we are sure that everything which is in that other dir is now up to date.
# The only cases where we need to modify files which have global effects are thus separated out and done before the #recursive descending is started. They are now explicitly listed as the prepare rule.
# To put more focus on warnings, be less verbose as default Use 'make V=1' to see the full commands
