There's another problem with merging linux-tools into linux, that just came to my mind: customized kernels, which are based on linux from [core]. They would probably always need to build those tools even if it's not necessary to building them for every single customized kernel. Otherwise the package maintainers had a lot more work to remove all the building commands from the PKGBUILD if possible. Heiko
