> I am having a problem with ‘make install T=‘ command as I was using it before. I would normally build a x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc, clang and icc or a different config all together. Currently the ‘make install T=‘ gives a warning message at the end of the build plus creates the x86_64-native-linuxapp-XXX directory. If I use the suggested ‘make config T=‘ command this command create a directory ‘build’ with a .config file. The problem is this method does not allow me to have multiple builds at the same time.

The multiple build is not supported anymore. It was only building with
the default configuration.
If you want to test various builds, I suggest to use this script:
	scripts/test-build.sh
	http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/commit/?id=cd31ca579c

If you just want to compile, it is simple:
	make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc O=my-gcc-build
	make O=my-gcc-build

Note: the documentation was updated when doing this change.
