Sorry I wasn't clear; I wasn't saying you were being hostile. It's just that I am simultaneously trying to test multiple kernel cofigurations against a common source tree, and the reason why I use separate build directories is the alternative is each time I change configurations, around 2 GB of object files get rewritten. So a feature which requires that I give up a workflow such that I would be I constantly rebuild (and rewrite) gigabytes of object files is hostile to be my development workflow --- and so unless I hear testimonials about how it's amazingly useful, I'm highly unlikely to even experiment with it. Nothing personal.... it just doesn't fit with my development practices. Cheers, - Ted
