From 0f836e5fecf59d0d0353e9af11fd14a32a3001ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Woodhouse Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2006 01:21:43 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Add CONFIG_HEADERS_CHECK option to automatically run 'make headers_check' In order to encourage people to notice when they break the exported headers, add a config option which automatically runs the sanity checks when building vmlinux. That way, those who use allyesconfig will notice failures.
