Hmmmm. I did assume that nobody out there was foolish enough to use the non-deleting config option, given that we've already discussed in signficant, repetetive detail the fact that trying to live in one /sys/compile/BLAH directory and not simply blowing it away each and every time is serious bad news. Just in case there *are* people so foolish, let me just make the point One More Time: Unless you know the kernel like McKusick or are blessed with a personal guardian angel who will keep you eternally safe from all harm, start with a fresh /sys/compile/FOO directory *every* time you build a kernel! I don't care what some core people say about having this work successfully, as a general rule it's a sad mistake and the reason I made config blow away kernel build dirs by default in the first place!
