Release 1.5 of kernel build for kernel 2.5 (kbuild 2.5) has been
released. http://sourceforge.net/projects/kbuild/, Package kbuild-2.5,
download release 1.5.

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=99725412902968&w=2
contains information about the base release.

Changelog:

Generalize select() and objlink() to take a variable number of
CONFIG_ entries, including zero.

Remove the special case commands always(), always_mod() and
objlink_cond(), they are all handled by the general case commands.

Simplify selections with multiple criteria to use the general
select() command.

Add update_if_changed() as a micro optimization, mainly for
asm-offsets.h.

Add CONFIG_Y, CONFIG_M to handle special select() cases.

Add CONFIG_KBUILD_GCC_VERSION. Later releases will force a complete
rebuild if this variable changes, work in progress.

Add CONFIG_KBUILD_CRITICAL which lists the CONFIG_ variables that are
critical to the build. Later releases will force a complete rebuild
if any of the listed config variables change, work in progress.

Documentation changes (Documentation/kbuild/kbuild-2.5.txt is your
friend) for above changes plus asm-offsets.h.

Upgrade to kernel 2.4.14.

This release does not fully support CML2, only use it with CML1.
CML2 needs the extra CONFIG_ variables and menus added to support
kbuild 2.5. WIP.
