meh.  `make -s` seems to work fine enough for me.  most people arent reviewing 
the output for warnings and similar issues, so i dont really see much point of 
having quiet output in LTP.

you mean out-of-tree compilation.  you can use lndir to get the same 
functionality, but it isnt really an optimal method.

you can run `make` in only the dirs you care about.  how deep do you actually 
want to get ?  having Kconfig entries for every single test (i.e. 
kernel/syscalls/{getsid,pipe}0{1,2} .....) is crazy.

dont really know what that means

the uClinux distro is really an example you should look at.  the kconfig comes 
from the kernel, but all of the Makefiles are custom done.  the features it 
has arent terribly relevant.
