The deeper your build directory is located, the larger your U-Boot image becomes. If your platform has memory footprint limit, this is a problem.
Recently, I submitted the following patches to Kbuild ML. (no RFC, this time) https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10001419/ https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10001409/
I consider them for Linux 4.15 unless there is a strong objection or a problem report.
This series is a port for U-Boot.
If Tom wants to pick this up earlier, it is OK. If not in hurry, you can wait for the activity in Linux. Either will do.
Yay. I plan to pick these up after v2017.11 has been released, so no need to re-spin this if it stops applying cleanly until we're closer to release. Thanks!
