Ok, sounds good. Two questions:
- how much testing (randconfig? different architectures?) has this gotten?
- how much does this actually improve compile times (for a "normal" build or a "allmodconfig" one)?
It certainly sounds like the RightThing(tm) to do, but I'd like to know that there is real actual improvements to build times and that the pain won't be too bad...
