I haven't seen any issues related to the introduction of savedcmd_; and 
roughly searching through tools/ I cannot find a rule that matches the 
pattern Masahiro described in commit 92215e7a801d ("kbuild: rename 
cmd_$@ to savedcmd_$@ in *.cmd files", 2022-12-29).  For consistency, 
I'd like to see the build rules in tools/ re-use the ones from scripts/ 
but as of now I don't see any necessity to introduce savedcmd in 
tools/, yet.

Kind regards,
Nicolas
