    Hi Keith,

    I googled a bit on this, but the nature of the bug makes it impossible to
    search properly.

    I found this out as I was trying to build Netgear router DG834 firmware from
    GPL source, and make dep fails.

    The reason is due to the untarred path name that includes () I found.

    I tested on virgin kernel 2.4.31 with GNU Make version 3.79.1.

    top level directory of kernel source as a test:

    linux-2.4.31(test)/

    And the errors (with a lot removed) - it does a little first then:

    > make mrproper
    /bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token
    `/home/nick/kernel/linux-2.4.31(t'
    ...
    ...
    make: *** [mrproper] Error 2

    > make dep
    /bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token
    `/home/nick/kernel/linux-2.4.31(test)'
    ...
    ...
    make[2]: *** [fastdep] Error 2
    make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/nick/kernel/linux-2.4.31(test)/kernel'
    make[1]: *** [_sfdep_kernel] Error 2
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/nick/kernel/linux-2.4.31(test)'
    make: *** [dep-files] Error 2

    I haven't a clue if this is a 'make' issue or not, but a few tests on other
    source builds ok.

    Nick
