Hi Danny,

Neat!

Would it make sense to turn it into a ‘linux-module-build-system’?  That
would avoid having to create a package object that cannot be built, just
to pass it to ‘make-linux-module’.  ‘linux-libre’ and ‘kmod’ would be
implicit inputs.

What does that flag do?

Is it OK to use the default GCC?

Other than that it looks really cool!

Thank you,
Ludo’.
