I've been using the above for months in -stable, as well as the
native -current functionality, to build kernels with read-only
/usr/src and no config file within (instead off in /usr/local
somewhere), and it's worked great. I've had to reapply the above
patch anytime the -stable Makefile.inc1 changes, so I second the
request that 4.x get the above patch MFC applied to bring its ability
to that of -current for alternative kernel config file locations,
and I can't see that it would cause any problems (I've never
experienced any)
