Eric Le Bihan bbbc8b5de3 pkg-kconfig: support alternative .config location
Kconfig clones, such as openconf used by xvisor [1], do not look for
.config at the root of the build directory, but in a subdirectory (e.g.
build/openconf).

This patch introduces a new Makefile variable named
$(2)_KCONFIG_DOTCONFIG, which contains the path to .config relative to
the source directory of the package. It defaults to .config and can be
overridden in the package Makefile.

It also creates the full directory hierarchy where the .config file is
stored, in case it does not exist (e.g. in xvisor).

This allows the use of the kconfig-package infrastructure with packages
relying on such clones.

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.
