Hi Achim, it is not a matter of taking over the build system, it is a matter of making it simple for the users and useful for the developers.
At least two of the core developers here want `make compile-single' and don't want to edit local.mk to do so. The reverts I did were just for this to be the case. If a majority of developers want a _COMPILE_ variable or whatever, I'll happily let you implement it. The decision I took of getting rid of the elint targets is perhaps more controversial, but I think elint targets are more gadgets than anything else right now, and potentially disconcerting ones. You sound a bit angry at me, which I'm sorry to read. FWIW, I 100% acknowledge your sense of rigor and completeness and the way you can handle complex stuff -- but as a maintainer, I also try to focus on simplicity. Thanks, -- Bastien
