Is this a problem here? - I can omit the parameter "-j".

Are any more steps needed to perform safe Makefile debugging now?
Is the specific number of (recursive) make calls interesting?

I want to ensure that every command was successfully executed. The return values will be
ignored if the commands are concatenated by the metacharacter ";". I prefer to use "AND
lists" here.
> So you either a .config file or the config directory.
I would expect that both will be generated in my output directory by a command like "make
silentoldconfig". Why is the cleanliness check additionally performed on my source
directory? Should it really matter if I want to concentrate on "objtree"?

I don't want to say that. I indicated a bit about my runtime environment. Is it more
likely that the Makefile will need an update?

Markus
