Everything about the kernel will be built in $(O). Just rechecked the O variable in top-level Makefile, selftests/nolibc Makefile and tools/nolibc Makefile, all of them get the right O value from command line. >From my Makefile experience, an option from command line will be passed to every sub Makefile via $(-*-command-variables-*-), it has the highest priority then the others, except when we use 'override' keyword internally. > the build instead is happening in $LINUX/foo.

Do you mean this line: srctree := $(patsubst %/tools/testing/selftests/,%,$(dir $(CURDIR))) by removing tools/testing/selftests/ of curdir's dir (means no nolibc itself), srctree above is just the top-level kernel source code tree. > It seems we need to pass $(COMMAND_O) to the recursive calls to $(MAKE), > too? > So, no need to pass O or COMMAND_O.
