[PATCH v2 2/6] mingw: drop the build-system plumbing for nedmalloc

flat view

From: Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget <hidden>
Date: 2026-05-07 16:00:19
Subsystem: kernel build + files below scripts/ (unless maintained elsewhere), the rest · Maintainers: Nathan Chancellor, Nicolas Schier, Linus Torvalds

Revision v2 of 2 in this series.

Revisions (2)
  1. v2 current
  2. v3 [diff vs current]
From: Johannes Schindelin <redacted>

With the previous commit removing every opt-in, the build-system
plumbing for nedmalloc has nothing left to switch on. Remove it so
that the upcoming deletion of the compat/nedmalloc/ tree is a pure
file removal.
