Shouldn't that be:

No, it's invoked later on as:

temp=$($tempfile)
temp2=$($tempfile)

Either which way; I have a better fix for the bison issue (this all has to do with the fact that make's handling of tools that output more than one file at a time is at the very best insane); however, I'm getting rather unhappy with some of the code in dash.

In particular, mksyntax.c seems to assume it runs on the same machine that the resulting code is going to execute on, for example, it tries to detect whether or not "char" is signed, but that doesn't work when cross-compiling.

dash isn't actually necessary in the in-kernel build, although it's a very nice bonus for customizing initramfs to have a shell to glue things together with.

Herbert: can the code be restructured with appropriate casts so that signed/unsigned is factored out of mksyntax? As it currently stands, it's not cross-compile-safe, which is unacceptable.
