  # filechk is used to check if the content of a generated file is updated.
  # Sample usage:
  # define filechk_sample
  #	echo $KERNELRELEASE
  # endef
  # version.h : Makefile
  #	$(call filechk,sample)
  # The rule defined shall write to stdout the content of the new file.
  # The existing file will be compared with the new one.
  # - If no file exist it is created
  # - If the content differ the new file is used
  # - If they are equal no change, and no timestamp update
  # - stdin is piped in from the first prerequisite ($<) so one has
  #   to specify a valid file as first prerequisite (often the kbuild file)
