Funny you should mention that, since I just this minute completed a small hack for the benefit of Andrew Morton, who likes to be able to have his .config as a symlink. Yes it was easy, even starting from a state of nearly complete cluelessness. And before anybody asks, no I did not do the job properly, I do not pretend or want to be a member of the kbuild team. I just wanted to know how hard it is to hack this thing.
