kbuild: specifying phony targets?

From: Timur Tabi

I have a Makefile that works with 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. On the 2.4 side, I have a rule like this:

all: mytext ${TARGET_DIR} ${TARGET_DIR}/ccil.o

mytext:
@echo ${SOMETEXT}

This causes the text in variable SOMETEXT to be displayed right when the build starts.

How do I do the same thing with kbuild? Is there a way I can get a kbuild makefile to run a phony target right at the beginning?
