It's not a matter of preference but which solution really works. In short it should work fine and consistently when launched from topdir and from the nolibc-test dir. I personally don't know the effect of O= when run from a subdir (is it relative to the current dir or topdir?). > And even further, I thought of puting everything to $(OUTPUT), but the > change is very ugly and not good for v6.6, If you like, I will send that > patch only as a discuss stuff. Yeah I'd rather avoid ugly things for 6.6 now. Thanks, Willy
