Hi,

This is a small patch to the kernel top Makefile to
store the kernel compiler options in include/linux/compiler.options
The patch is against 2.3.47.

I believe this makes module compilation, outside the kernel three, much
easier. The same compiler options used for the kernel can be used for
the module by simply including include/linux/compiler.options in it's makefile.

This seems specially useful for compiling a module for a prepackaged kernel
having only the original kernel headers available.

Comments anyone?
