Re: Garbage characters in the output of make -np in the Linux source tree

[Manoj Srivastava]

Hi,

           [Please retain the CC to address@hidden so
           that the Debian Bug Tracking system can record your input]

        I wish I would not make these insights just _after_ I send
 mail on the issue.

        It turns out that most of the garbage chars are resulting from
 trying to say that the makefile was ".config", the configuration
 snippet that the linux kernel build process generates from user
 input. 

        The name of the file is .config, and I am attaching a copy
 from the tests that I made, in case the contents are relevant (the
 file looks entirely sane on inspection).

.config
