Does kbuild 2.5 support separate obj/src trees
Haven't been building kernels for a while but the Makefile contains srctree/objtree variables - so does kbuild 2.5 now support separate obj/src trees? Tks.

Not yet.
I have posted a patch enabling this a couple of times, but it has not mainstream kernel yet :-(
There is people that request this feature, and it is doable - with some annoying restrictions. The main issue is that the kernel src shall be free of generated files when compiling for a separate objtree. I got limited feedback on the implementataion so far.
The patch will most likely be updated during easter.
