The top-level boot_targets (uImage and uImage.*) should be phony targets. They just let Kbuild descend into arch/arc/boot/ and create files there. If a file exists in the top directory with the same name, the boot image will not be created. You can confirm it by the following steps: $ export CROSS_COMPILE=<your-arc-compiler-prefix> $ make -s ARCH=arc defconfig all # vmlinux will be built $ touch uImage.gz $ make ARCH=arc uImage.gz CALL scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh CHK include/generated/compile.h # arch/arc/boot/uImage.gz is not created Specify the targets as PHONY to fix this.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
