Re: should Makefile.custom be in source tree or in build tree?

Hmm, interesting question. When I have used it, I put it in the source
dir without thinking much about it. In the builddir it'd be painful I
think because it'd be gone when the builddir is zapped to do a full
rebuild (I don't do this often but it does happen from time to time).

Nowadays I don't use it much though, since I learned the PROFILE trick
when calling make, so it's not like I care all that much.
