| |
Hi,
I notice that my kernels get needlessy recompiled if I access the source tree through a different directory. In other words, /lo/linux is the kernel tree, and `mount --bind /lo /home/jengelh/lo` is in effect.
I see the absolute path being stored in .*.o.cmd files, which seems like all the explanation I need. I do remember that I left a comment when something like that was afloating: http://www.nabble.com/-RFC-PATCH-3-6--kbuild:-convert-include-and-source-paths-td17064364.html
As of v2.6.27-rc4-263-g5697a99, there's no gcov in (at least there is no such thing in my .config when bulit with ARCH=um), but the issue with absolute paths exists.
Jan
