Hi, This is a nice idea, but as Stephen's build has found, it is a very fragile change, particularly if you're doing a rebuild of an existing tree. Stephen's issue appears to be that - he has stale "shipped" copies that the old Makefile implementation created, which were attempted to be built with this patch applied. The result of that is we try and pick up scripts/dtc/libfdt/libfdt_env.h. The whole point of the kernel build system is so that we can make changes to the kernel tree, and then build the kernel, and have the build system work out how to rebuild the kernel in a proper and safe way without us having to endlessly clean the build tree just because a few patches have been added. This patch breaks that expectation. At the very least, this build-breaking nature needs to be mentioned, preferably telling people what they should be doing to fix the issue. An even better would be to find some way to avoid the issue in the first place, or find some way to warn about it - maybe by leaving a libfdt_env.h behind that has an appropriate #warning in it telling people what to do. Or something.
