Well, I've thought about another viewpoint. The Makefile insists on the detail that no configuration files are allowed in the source directory if an output directory was specified. Original wording: "... # prepare3 is used to check if we are building in a separate output directory, # and if so do: # 1) Check that make has not been executed in the kernel src $(srctree) ..." I seems now that my troubles came from the missing decision when to move or delete the .config file from my source directory. So the following command sequence works for a completely clean build. (It can be adjusted to support parallel configurations for debug/release situations as usual.)
