...because it's always a good idea to cut a release *before* you go out
to party and get drunk.

Remember kids: "Don't Drink and Release!"

include/linux/utsrelease.h and include/linux/version.h aren't removed any
more by mrproper in kernel 2.6.20-rc2.  The patch below fixes this.

The definition of MRPROPER_FILES looks weird: generated-headers looks like
a misspelling of generated_headers, but that one is a Makefile target, not
a variable or a file, so I don't see how including it in MRPROPER_FILES
could have any effect.

compile.h is created super-late in the build.  But proc_misc.c want to include
it, and it's generally not sane to have a header file in include/linux be
created at the end of the build: it's either not present or, worse, wrong for
most of the build.

So the patch arranges for compile.h to be built at the start of the build
process.  It also consolidates the compile.h rules with those for version.h
and utsname.h, so they all get built together.

I hope.  My chances of having got this right are about 2%.

It has caused more problems than it ever really solved, and is
apparently not getting cleaned up and fixed.  We can put it back when
it's stable and isn't likely to make warning or bug events worse.

In the meantime, enable frame pointers for more readable stack traces.

The previous checkstack fix for UML, which needs to use the host's tools,
was wrong in the crossbuilding case.  It would use the build host's, rather
than the target's, toolchain.

This patch removes the old fix and adds an explicit special case for UML,
leaving everyone else alone.

`make -d help | grep Makefile` shows patterns, where make tries to rebuild
included and top makefiles.

While `make -rR is now default' commit should fix this, actually, it was just
a little janitorial.

This fix is aimed to complete cancelling implicit rules.
