I expect that both ways should work. I find it easier to use the environment variable
"KBUILD_OUTPUT" because the command line parameter does not need to be repeated on each
make invocation.

Anyway - How do you think about my following test result?

Sonne:/usr/src/linux # MY_OUTDIR=/usr/src/obj/linux/2.6.23.1/x86_64/adjusted && rm -rf
$MY_OUTDIR/*
Sonne:/usr/src/linux # unset KBUILD_OUTPUT && make mrproper
  CLEAN   .config
Sonne:/usr/src/linux # cp -p /boot/config-2.6.23.1-0-adjusted .config
Sonne:/usr/src/linux # make O=$MY_OUTDIR oldconfig && date && echo
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX && make -j3 O=$MY_OUTDIR && echo
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY && make -j3 O=$MY_OUTDIR modules_install install
&& echo ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ && date

How does any internal status information get inconsistent here?
