Thanks, applied.
This reminded me of an old problem if a patch adds a new file, and then you
do "git checkout HEAD^" (like with this one), dependencies are broken:
====== Building slof ======
[CC] Makefile.dep
make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'bootmenu.h', needed by 'paflof.o'. Stop.
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
Makefile:33: recipe for target 'slof' failed
make[1]: *** [slof] Error 2
Makefile:54: recipe for target 'qemu' failed
make: *** [qemu] Error 2
If/when you have time, could you please look at this too?
