In fact we are not planning on supporting out of tree kernel builds,
but rather to support out of tree build for all packages in a generic
way, which would include the 'linux' package of course.

I did some work in this area many years ago, Yann picked up some of the
work, see the current status at
https://git.buildroot.org/~ymorin/git/buildroot/log/?h=yem/oot.

I see he has other "oot" branches, such as
https://git.buildroot.org/~ymorin/git/buildroot/log/?h=yem/oot-build-dir,
https://git.buildroot.org/~ymorin/git/buildroot/log/?h=yem/oot-libtool
and
https://git.buildroot.org/~ymorin/git/buildroot/log/?h=yem/oot-same-source.
I'm not sure how they relate to each other (I haven't looked at the
patches).

Best regards,

Thomas
