Re: [syslinux] Etherboot and gpxe

Joyce,
I suggest doing a make clean.  This will remove .d files, including
bin/deps/exe.media.d.

Then try building again.  If there are remaining issues you may find
touch(1) useful for adjusting timestamps.

This infinite loop could be a bug in gPXE's build system.  I tried to
reproduce the issue:
make clean
make
touch -t 11011000 bin/deps/exe.media.d  # set a future timestamp
touch -t 11011000 drivers/net/rtl8139.c
make

I did not see an infinite loop:
make: Warning: File `bin/deps/exe.media.d' has modification time
7.7e+06 s in the future
  [DEPS] drivers/net/rtl8139.c
make: Warning: File `bin/deps/exe.media.d' has modification time
7.7e+06 s in the future
  [BUILD] bin/rtl8139.o
  [AR] bin/blib.a
ar: creating bin/blib.a
[...]

Are you editing source and building on the same machine?  If you
continue to have timestamp problems I suggest either synchronizing
clocks or simplifying the development setup by editing and building on
the same machine.
