Package: linux-headers-3.16.0-4-amd64
Version: 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When installing a linux-headers package, a Makefile is installed for compiling
external modules (e.g. /usr/src/linux-headers-3.16.0-4-amd64/Makefile)

the syntax in this Makefile is not compatible with the version of make in
jessie (4.0-8.1)

the symptom is the following message when compling an external module:

Makefile:10: *** mixed implicit and normal rules: deprecated syntax

the problem is fixed with the following patch:

herbelot@ascain:tmp$ diff -Nau Makefile.ori Makefile.new

 Makefile:;
-$(cmd) %/: all
+$(cmd): all
+       @:
+%/: all
        @:

The patch is also applicable to more recent versions of the package (for
example
the patch is valid for linux-headers-4.6.0-rc3-amd64_4.6~rc3-1~exp1_amd64.deb)
