One thing I thought was that perhaps reusing Kbuild would be a good idea, something like:
cd tools/ make menuconfig
And use all the Kbuild machinery to select needed features, etc.
What do you think?
It can be a follow up to what you're doing, that is needed anyway, some questions below:

Will we continue using "util" here? What other name could we pick? Nah, probably for the ones you moved we can continue using it, the symbols part I plan to move to tools/lib/symbol/.

I thought about suggesting using -I to reduce patch size, but then it is using "" :-\
So I'll do some testing here and merge this for .36 unless somebody has other issues with this, Ingo? Frédéric?
