Subject: modpost command line still is a problem

At least as far as current linus, "make allmodconfig" still fails with
O= in a sufficiently deep directory due to the modpost command line
being too long.

There was a bunch of talk about how to address that, but did anything
ever come of it?

Following patch:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kbuild&m=136723776203823&w=2

is waiting for Michal to pick it up.
It is on top of the kbuild branck of the kbuild tree (yet to be merged).

There were issues with merging my modules-next branch, but that should
contain the fixes.

Thanks,
