Makes sense. I'll squash patches 03 and 04 into a single patch and drop the forward/backward references from the commit message. > I'd also pull out the configuration checks into validate_config() to be > consistent: [...] > and then build_kernel() only needs to adjust the cmd / flags accordingly. Agreed. I'll move the CONFIG_RELOCATABLE / CONFIG_AS_HAS_EXPLICIT_RELOCS checks into validate_config() and leave build_kernel() to just set the flags. Thanks, George
