I agree with this change. I had done something similar 4 years ago: https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/[email protected]/ My patch was also adding build types "debug" and "minsize". Now that clang is fixed, I will work on it (requires fixes for minsize). Your patch shrinks the build directory from 20G to 9G in my setup. [...] > - config $srcdir $builds_dir/$targetdir $cross --werror $* > + config $srcdir $builds_dir/$targetdir $abicheck $cross --werror $* There is another call to the function config() for the ABI ref build which requires to add the new ABI parameter: - config $abirefdir/src $abirefdir/build $cross \ + config $abirefdir/src $abirefdir/build ABI $cross \ -Dexamples= $* compile $abirefdir/build Applied with this change, thanks.
