Thanks a lot Adrian for this time saver. So it's not strictly an > output directory, more a build directory. The opposite.... All output is placed there - including the configuration generated by the *config frontends. It is not limited to kernel-build output. One of the use cases for "make O=.." is a setup where the kernel source is located in a RO location (CDROM, restricted permissions etc).
