Omigod, don't even think that. Kbuild 2.5 is faster and better than the current kbuild. I, for one, am waiting - impatiently - for the thing to get in the tree. The current build system is slow and unreliable, and don't even think of trying to build two different architectures in the same source tree at the same time. -- Daniel
