@@ -91,6 +91,11 @@ compare (character for character) configurations generated by Kconfiglib with
configurations generated by <i>scripts/kconfig/conf</i> for a number of cases. You
might want to use the "speedy" option; see [testsuite.py](testsuite.py).
+The test suite might fail for a few configurations for kernels older than April 2006,
+when a fix was added to Kconfig that's also mirrored in Kconfiglib (see 35ea8d5).
+This is harmless, and only counts as a fail since the test suite compares literal
+output from the kconfig version that's bundled with the kernel.

Kconfiglib is much faster than the test suite would indicate. Most of the time
is spent waiting around for `make` or the C utilities. Adding some multiprocessing
to the test suite would make sense.
