Which is what I would expect.  So why are these things compiling into
the kernel even if they're not selected? Or am I missing something
about the process?  Kernel 2.6.13.3 here.  Thanks.

If you go look, you will notice that all of those built-in.o are zero bytes large. We've already fixed this in kernel 2.6.14 by preventing the build of these empty units with the following patch (you can safely apply it to 2.6.13.y):


I forgot to mention... You CAN apply the patch in my previous message if it bothers you enough, but it won't have any real affect on your kernel, as those built-in.o are all empty anyway.


Don't build empty built-in.o when DVB/V4L is not configured.
Thanks to Sam Ravnborg and Keith Owens.
