Hi Arnd,

Which sorting policy are you using here?


I prefer the same order as they appear in the .config file.
Like this.


+# CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_PERFORMANCE is not set
 CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y
+# CONFIG_KERNEL_GZIP is not set
+# CONFIG_KERNEL_BZIP2 is not set
+# CONFIG_KERNEL_LZMA is not set
 CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ=y
+# CONFIG_KERNEL_LZO is not set
+# CONFIG_KERNEL_LZ4 is not set
 CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y
+# CONFIG_SLAB is not set
+# CONFIG_SLUB is not set
 CONFIG_SLOB=y
