I like it. With kbuild 2.5 the generation of ext2_all.c (I prefer ext2_static.c) can be automated.
objlink(ext2.o balloc.o bitmap.o dir.o file.o fsync.o ialloc.o inode.o ioctl.o namei.o super.o symlink.o) select(CONFIG_EXT2_FS ext2.o) make_static(ext2)
make_static(xxxx), which does not exist yet -
* Checks if CONFIG_MAKE_STATIC is set. * Takes the objlink information from the kbuild 2.5 database. * Automatically creates xxxx_static.c as a series of #include statements for the source files derived from objlink. * Replaces the objlink data with objlink(xxxx.o xxxx_static.o). * Compiles xxxx_static.c with -DXXXX_STATIC=static.
The code that is normally linked into xxxx.o has to be manually changed to add XXXX_STATIC before a make_static(xxxx) command can be added.
