Sometimes when I'm debugging I make stuff manually with EXTRA_CFLAGS='-O1 -g', and sometimes I'll probably want do the build with CONFIG_COMBINED_COMPILE= as well. That should certainly be possible -- and it _is_ possible with my makefile hack but mostly by chance. It's a feature which we should probably try to keep though. -- dwmw2
