I am looking to compile the Linux kernel and send the work and output to another directory, thereby leaving the kernel source tree directory clean. |

If I build gcc or other software using configure script, I can go to another directory and run, for instance, ~/builds/gcc-8.3.0/configure --prefix=/usr ... without dirtying the source directory. |

This would likely be a cross-compile from NetBSD or FreeBSD. |

Could I do make -C ~/builds/linux-4.19.105 ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE=x86_64-linux-musl- ... ? |

That would be my first thought, seeking to avoid having to clean after every run, successful or unsuccessful. Avoid the worry about whether clean, distclean or mrproper work. |

I would like to compile for x86_64 and also i486 (or would that be i386)? |

Is this a question for gentoo-user or gentoo-dev? |

The "make" I use is built from GNU source, not /usr/bin/make as is found on NetBSD or FreeBSD. |
