You are right. If you set V=1 in the commmand line it will inherit and pass it down. In the curent framework, we do not force V to be 1, just to be defined (coud be V=y or V=enable, etc). This patch was just forcing the value to be 1 as it is the required value for the kernel makefiles. It is not a big deal and we could approach this by specifiying on the docs to be V=1 or any other way you think more appropiate? Thanks, Sergio > -- > Thomas
