Hello.

I sent this to linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org on the 15th, which
seems to be legacy.  Just in case someone is wondering about the
resend.

As a not-yet-tested low-quality Makefile suggestion, with modern
GNU tools and find(1)'s -printf, wouldn't the following code work
out gracefully in practice?  (Not subscribed.)

Thanks for Linux!

I did not see your previous post.
What is bad about using rsync?

Oh really nothing, but this Linux distribution (CRUX) recreates
Linux headers before the GNU LibC is build, and this is the only
dependency of rsync around.  And, unless i am mistaken, the other
code path is more expensive but otherwise functionally equivalent?
