One minor concern with that placement is that I enjoy the ability to nuke a partial or corrupted builds my doing 'rm -rf coreboot/x230', so having the config file stored in a generated directory would be problematic. However, it would be nice to remember the $(obj) and $(DOTCONFIG) variables when oldconfig is run in an external build. kbuild generates a Makefile in the external directory with its equivilant of those variables preset so that you can run 'make' in the output directory and have it do the right thing. -- Trammell -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org https://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
