excuse me for intruding a bit, but in the restructuring of kernel 2.5.x, is
there any notion of separating the build directories from the source
directories? if you're all hacking up the tree org anyway, this would be a
nice feature... (somewhat like gcc, i guess)
i ask because there are some pci cards i'm tinkering with that run linux
themselves. it would be nice to go off to /usr/src/linux-x.y.z, and do
something like this:
mkdir host
cd host
../make config
make dep && make bzImage && ...
cd ..
mkdir ixp
cd ixp
../make config
make dep && make bzImage ....
this way i can keep both sets from one source tree. right now i either
get to make mrproper between builds, or keep dual trees. if i'm missing
something major in why this isn't practical, feel free to flame :)
just curious.
