Dumping our 176164 variables can take quite some time (~12s here). What takes the most time is sorting the variables (~9s), followed by the parsing of our Makefiles (~3s), with the actual printing in the noise. However, sometimes only one or a few variables are needed. For example, one may want to retrieve the Linux build dir from a post-build hook (to get the Linux' actual .config after our fixups and check for various features). Add the possibility to only dump the variables listed in $(VAR) which must be passed as a make argument, like so: $ make -s printvars VARS="LINUX_DIR TOPDIR O" LINUX_DIR=/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/build/linux-4.3 ($(BUILD_DIR)/$(LINUX_BASE_NAME)) O=/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/. (/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/.) TOPDIR=/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/buildroot (/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/buildroot) This is much faster (the time is just about the time it takes to parse our Makefiles, 3s here) and easier to parse.
