I was not aware of that and just had a try. It seems that there is an issue in
tools/power/acpi that, only with the following patch appiled, the make O=xxx
would work:

diff --git a/tools/power/acpi/Makefile.config b/tools/power/acpi/Makefile.config

Should above patch be a separate one or folded in [4/4]?
