Xen devel - Jun 2005 - [PATCH] allow make O=/path/to/build/dir ARCH=XEN

kbuild allows building outside the source tree. this is useful when
building multiple configs (such as privileged and unprivileged domains).
this patch unbreaks this feature for xen-linux.

Is this all that''s required? At one point we were using relative
symlinks to link files from arch i386 and x86_64 into arch xen at build
time. Has this has already been fixed to absoloute symlinks?

BTW, this is fot the "O=" syntax, right?

works for me (tm) - builds a kernel both in the source directory and
outside.

the patch changes the relative symlinks into absolute symlinks, but
maybe I missed something.
