So let's just agree to disagree on this point. I'm jumping back to this very old thread. Could you explain (perhaps re-explain) what you're trying to do ? If you need to just re-run a specific step of a specific package, why don't you use "make foo-build", "make foo-rebuild", etc. ? It seems very hackish to extract the commands that Buildroot executes to execute them outside the context of Buildroot. This doesn't really help to make a case for accepting a patch like you're proposing. Could you first convince us that there is a valid and reasonable use-case, and then we can discuss how to support this use-case with Buildroot.
