[Design] BUG: Corrupted Makefile problem in -pre8

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
  I have suffered a make file target failure in -pre8. The situation is that I have a 'clean' system, freshly defrosted compiled kernel tree etc.

  I take freeswan--pre8 and tell it to "make oldgo", which now makes a module ipsec.o rather then a static one (sigh). It worked just fine. I then did something I don't often do, I did a "make minstall" rather then a "make kinstall", and now I get this error:

  I see no mangled binary as the above would suggest: east# find . ../linux-2.4.20/ -name ip\*dir east#

  The making of /kernel/ is clearly an error. I suspect that our makefile is corrupted. I would fix it, but I am not free to do that, here in the USSA or in the Free World so long as Americans live under the rule of Presidential Declaration...
