I had to choose between helping other architectures to convert and rewriting the core code to speed everything up. I chose to get other architectures converted, finding some interesting "features" at the same time. The core code is stable and I will not change it right now, I want stable code to go to Linus. Once Linus takes kbuild 2.5 then I can start on the rewrite, without affecting anybody else. _______________________________________________ kbuild-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kbuild-devel
