Yeah, that was what I thought. I agree it can be surprising to have Make targets that modify environment/system-level bits (i.e. affecting things outside the build). > Rather, I will manually do this one time for the parent directory: That can work for many people, yeah. Though I imagine some people may want to keep builds (and sources) of different kernel versions in the same parent folder (or even other projects). But one can use nested overrides too. > If you want to provide a way for automated settings, > you can do it in a script you maintain. Sounds good. In that case, we can send to the list your patch from the `rust` branch if that is OK with you (i.e. I understand you would prefer to avoid not just `rustsetup` but also `rustupoverride`). Thanks Masahiro! Cheers, Miguel
