Vaguely related more general question: How useful is "clean" for an out-of-tree build? That ought to effectively remove the entire build tree, which may not be overly sensible to do via "make clean-xen", but instead simply "rm -rf ...". > @@ -117,4 +117,4 @@ $(obj)/dtb.o: $(patsubst "%",%,$(CONFIG_DTB_FILE)) > .PHONY: clean > clean:: > rm -f $(obj)/xen.lds > - rm -f $(BASEDIR)/.xen-syms.[0-9]* > + rm -f $(abs_objtree)/.xen-syms.[0-9]* This part is common - would it make sense to move to xen/Makefile, thus - aiui - eliminating the need for using $(abs_objtree) here / there?
