as said, these files are auto-generated. In the 1.x, you had to do:

make PARAMETERS all; make PARAMETERS install

now you can do:

make PARAMETERS cfg; make all; make install

You can overwrite in some cases, for example:

make modules modules=modules_k/pdt

will compile only the pdt module from K.

Daniel
