No.

I am looking for the real reasons for the occuring error messages. Let us look at another
test example ...

  Using /usr/src/linux-2.6.23.1 as source for kernel

  in the '/usr/src/linux-2.6.23.1' directory.
make[1]: *** [prepare3] Error 1
make: *** [_all] Error 2
make: INTERNAL: Exiting with 3 jobserver tokens available; should be 2!


Which files are not clean in my situation after the command "make mrproper" was executed
at the beginning?

Which results do you or other software developers get by such test runs on kernel releases
since "2.6.22.9-0.4-default" like it is published by SUSE now?
( I can build the current Linux kernel into my source directory successfully.)

Regards,
Markus
