That change should be made in the eclass. I agree here. The eclass should check /proc/config.gz. Also, another reason to use the eclass is it respects KBUILD_OUTPUT if it is set.
If /proc/config.gz is the first thing we check, I don't think we need to bother at all with checking .config since we know the setup of the running kernel. What does everyone think? -- William Hubbs gentoo accessibility team lead willi...@gentoo.org
