I'm not terribly familiar with the things under tools, so when I saw "objtool" I assumed it was following a standard pattern for tools. I can submit a patch for objtool's Makefile. ...or, if it makes more sense, I can submit a patch to move "objtool" to the scripts directory. ...or I can butt out of it. :) Which would folks prefer? -Doug -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
