this cleanup should be part of a single patch, but since i'm not confident i can do it properly, i will simply explain.
before configure and build:
$ git status On branch master Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'. nothing to commit, working directory clean $
next:
$ make sandbox_defconfig $ make cross_tools ... $ git status On branch master Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'. Untracked files: (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
tools/_libfdt.so tools/libfdt.py tools/libfdt_wrap.c
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track) $
then after doing a real cleaning:
$ make distclean $ git status On branch master Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'. Untracked files: (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
tools/libfdt.py tools/libfdt_wrap.c
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track) $
all this suggests a more thorough cleaning, and some entries added to tools/.gitignore, which i will leave to someone higher up the food chain.
