[PATCH] kbuild: make multiple directory targets work properly

[PATCH] kbuild: make multiple directory targets work properly

[Masahiro Yamada]

Currently, the single-target build does not work when two
or more sub-directories are given:

  $ make fs/ kernel/ lib/
    CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
    CALL    scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh
    DESCEND  objtool
  make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'kernel/'.
  make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'fs/'.
  make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'lib/'.

Make it work properly.

Linus,

If you want to use this patch soon (seems useful since
you are travelling), please feel free to apply it directly.

If you wait for my next pull request, I will apply it to
my tree.

Either is fine with me.

I'll wait for the proper channels, I'm heading back home tomorrow
anyway, and it's not been a big problem for me.

Just an oddity I happened to hit because of doing slightly different
things while on the road.

Thanks,
