Speaking of kbuild, is there any reasonable way to do check-only runs? Simple "set CC et.al. to scripts that will create target and do nothing else" doesn't work for obvious reasons - we have some stuff that really has to be compiled (e.g. empty.c + some arch-dependent files). Same goes for make -n C=1 | grep sparse | ... variants.
Another thing that would be very nice to have: analog of allmodconfig with some options pre-set. Trivial cases can be hanlded by patching Kconfig (basically, adding depends on BROKEN), but IWBN to have something like make allmodconfig PRESET=<file that looks like a subset of .config>... - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
