No, of course, not. :-) It's like this:

	src
	build/config-1/
	build/config-2/
		...
	.ccache/
		[.ccache stuff]
all in one ext2/noatime disk.

So the command line is like O=../build/$TARGET

Very specific but this shouldn't matter. Some are fat (sparc64 allmodconfig),
some are nimble (arm defconfigs). loadavg is around 210 at the start.
