From
Hallo. Tmpfiles, root users, external mod-builds again.

Kind of fix has finally landed. Instead for `O=/$dir' a patch...

Anyway i whould like propose my solution of:
-- external modules build without KBUILD_OUTPUT set;
-- /dev/null, GNU binutils and root users;
-- beauty;

For external modules, there must be information after
`make modules_prepare' in shipped linux-sources. Any build output is
put in $(objtree), and i don't understand why you don't using that.
Please, *try* `make O=/tmp/build M=/usr/local/src/nvatia'. Thank you.

As some kind of buga-feature, "null" isn't in any clean/mrproper
target (for a while ;).

kbuild: improving option checking

GNU binutils, root users, tmpfiles, external modules ro builds must
be fixed to do the right thing now.

In "safe" environment new /dev/null replacement may be used as simply as
`echo > null', `gcc -o null'. In aggressive starting with $(null) is
recommended.

Feature: file $(objtree)/null isn't in any "clear" target (yet).
