Documentation: kbuild: Improve if_changed documentation

2014-08-19T08:02:41+00:00

  - These days if_changed is used with many more commands than ld,
    objcopy, and gzip, hence add an ellipsis,
  - Any target that utilises if_changed must be listed in $(targets),
    so it needs an assignment to "targets", not "target".

Documentation: headers_install.txt is part of kbuild

2014-08-05T14:08:11+00:00

'headers_install.txt' from Documentation/make/ is related to Kbuild
so it must be moved in Documentation/kbuild/ directory.

As Documentation/make/ directory has only one file, it will be removed
as a consequence of moving 'headers_install.txt'.

kbuild: drop shared library support from Makefile.host

2014-07-16T15:15:26+00:00

The shared library feature in Makefile.host is no longer used.
Rip it off to keep the build infrastucture simple.

Update Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt too.
The section "4.3 Definition shared libraries" should be removed
and the following sections should be re-numbered.
