I see.
There is nothing in kbuild that will help you to achieve this.
If you build the kernel and parse all .*.cmd files then
you can build a complete list of files used and create your
symlinked tree.
But then you need a fully build kernel to do so.

I see no easy way to get the info without building the kernel
and if we do this only as a preprocessing step then we will
most likely not integrate it in kbuild since the user base will
be small. But if you hack up something lets take a look at it.

Hi Sam,

Ok, at least I know I'm not doing double work.

/Thanks
