Oh, I do too. And so I do make in the build directory, or tack on the O=
option. FAR more annoying to me is that kbuild requires you to do the make
command in the root directory of the tree.

"make -C ../../../../.. arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32/sigreturn.o" is not really
much better than

"make -C ../../../../.. O=o/x86_64.cf arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32/sigreturn.o"

Come to think of it, I really should just wrap that up in a script...

If anyone is interested, my scripts are sitting at:
