This patch series contains several build fixes and cleanups for issues I encountered when trying to cross-build an rtctest binary in a separate output directory (like I use for all my kernel builds).
Geert, Thanks for working on this!
My fundamental question is, why did tools/ opt out Kbuild?
Good question. I think it originally started as a separate small project.
I think lots of mess comes in in order to support cd tools/gpio; make
instead of
make tools/gpio/
Lots of files are duplicated in tools/build/ in order to invent a different build system for tools/
I agree switching to kbuild would be the best solution. Unfortunately my kbuild foo is not strong enough...
Thanks!
Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
