I was trying to use crunchgen to put together some boot disks
and found that it was thrashing a lot...making .o files in
two different places.

I don't know where to send my patches for things...
(I also have some patches for rdate but that's another story)

So to Who It May Concern:

add after line 775 of crunchgen.c:
    fprintf(outmk,   "$(%s_OBJPATHS): %s_make\n",p->ident,p->ident);
/* you need a command here */
    fprintf(outmk,   "\t@echo Made %s\n\n",p->ident);
