The only investment that seems worthwhile would be to switch it to use
the normal kbuild stuff??


I explored switching to kbuild at the kernel summit last year during
my kselftest where are we talk.

There was push back from several developers. We can definitely explore
it as long as we can still support being able to build and run
individual subsystem tests and doesn't break workflow for developers.


Do you have a link or two for that? Especially about the pushback, and
conclusions reached, if any.
