As of Linux kernel commit ea4d1a8 "powerpc/configs: Replace
pseries_le_defconfig with a Makefile target using merge_config" some
kconfig defconfigs (one so far: "pseries_le_defconfig") can be
generated using "make <defconfig>" and they do not exist on disk as a
single defconfig file.
This causes buildroot's build to fail for those configs with:
'arch/powerpc/configs/pseries_le_defconfig' for 'linux' does not exist
To handle this case and keep the makefile steps as simple as possible,
introduce a new package variable, *_KCONFIG_DEFCONFIG, that can be
used to indicate that a defconfig rule is being used, rather than a
file.
This allows the rule that generates the .config file to use either the
provided file (by copying) or a generated defconfig (by running "make
<defconfig>") as its starting point. merge_config.sh can then be run the
same way in either case, using .config as both input and output.
Note that merge_config.sh is now modifying .config in-place but this
is safe because it uses a temporary copy while making changes.
This patch introduces the new variable but does not make use of it.
Use of the new variable will be introduced in separate patches.

[yann.morin.1998@free.fr:
- include all the other kconfig-package hunks into this one patch
- do not transform the 'echo "..."; exit 1' into $(error ...) calls
- use a make $(if)-block instead of a shell if-block to copy the file
or run make (like is done to check the kconfig snippets)
- misc typoes and rephrasing in the commit log
- do not force the _defconfig suffix in the infra (Thomas)

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
