:I don't like the message either, but I'm surprised that you find it so
:upsetting.
I run config a dozen times a day :-( Sorry Greg. I don't think it's
a bad idea, but it's like taking a clue stick to people who are already
mostly clueful.
I make debug kernels my setting 'makeoptions' in the kernel config, aka
makeoptions DEBUG="-g"
I think this is the proper way to do it. This way you can just 'config'
your kernel labels and not have to remember which ones are supposed to
generate debug symbols and which ones are not.
This ability to use makeoptions is not well documented in LINT.
Considering its usefulness, it would sure be nice if someone would add
and document it in LINT ( hint hint ) :-).
