Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: add comment about grouped target
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2020 12:16:30 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200325031630.28512-1-masahiroy@kernel.org> (raw)
GNU Make commit 8c888d95f618 ("[SV 8297] Implement "grouped targets"
for explicit rules.") added the '&:' syntax.
I think '&:' is a perfect fit here, but we cannot use it any time
soon. Just add a TODO comment.
