There is no good reason to invoke checkincludes.pl via GNU Make
in the first place.



A better solution is to do it by a shell script
or to make checkincludes.pl traverse the
subdirectories by itself.



[1] An easy solution

Add scripts/checkincludes-all:


#!/bin/sh
find . -name '*.[hcS]' -type f -print | sort \
  | xargs $(dirname $0)/checkincludes.pl


Then, remove the 'includecheck' target from the Makefile.

You can do 'scripts/checkincludes-all'
instead of 'make includecheck'.



[2] A better solution

Extend scripts/checkincludes.pl so that it checks
all *.[hcS] files under the current directory
when no argument is passed.

You can simply do 'scripts/checkincludes.py'
