Hi Michal, I'm wondering what your thoughts are with this series? Sam had some other comment on patch 3, but I think it has come to a matter of preference. I don't mind too much, so I can change it to whatever people prefer (sh or makefile). And did you want me to re-post the series, or are you happy to take updated patches from replies? The ARM slowness with allyesconfig builds with thin archives was a linker workaround for a processor bug that they don't need to enable for allyesconfig build anyway. I provided them a patch to avoid that. For usual sized builds, it's not noticeable.
