Well, I probably may say that I've some ``initial success'' with
building in a separate directory. I'd like to mention a couple
of issues that I've stumbled upon:
* it seems to me that implementing the support for an
autoconf-like style of passing the source and build
directories location, e. g.:
$ make-kpkg --kernel-source=/where/is/the/source
would require less time than a kbuild-like one
(assuming using the existing code base, of course); certainly,
one'd need to prefix a number of filenames with `$(srctree)/',
but it would be even worse to prefix almost everything with
`$(KBUILD_OUTPUT)/';
* including build-toplevel Makefile has a little sense, since it
contains (almost) no variables, nor `include's (in the
separate build directory case); moreover, it defines a rule
which may interfere with `debian/rules'.
