for various reasons, i'm poring over the grotty details of the installation of kernel headers, so a couple questions before i get any further into the code.

first, is there any value to a Kbuild file with no content? for example, here's the entirety of arch/cris/include/arch-v10/arch/Kbuild:

# CRISv10 arch

that is, one commented-out line, no references to any include files. does such a file have any meaning? or can such files be deleted until such time as they need to contain some content?

Try removing it and see if building the chris arch works! :)
