kbuild fixes

Hi Linus.

Here is a number of small and smaller kbuild fixes for -rc2. Please add them before -rc3.
The list got larger than expected since I missed -rc1 with half a day.

Most noteworthy:

o fix build on ubuntu - breakage caused by -fno-stack-protector enabled on ubuntu
o fix building out-of-tree modules
o fix 'make headers_install' to work with a non-configured kernel
o added unifdef to the kernel tree. It is not a widely distributed tool author has acked this

Patches has been in -mm for a while with no bugs reported. Exception is the 'linguistic fixes' - but they did not cause any compile/boot issues ;-)

Please pull from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sam/kbuld.git

remove RPM_BUILD_ROOT from asm-offsets.h

No file in rpm binary package should have the RPM_BUILD_ROOT string in it. To simplify building of external modules, our kernel-source package contains some temp files from the Kbuild system. asm/asm-offsets.h is one of the files that contains the absolute path if make O=$O is used.

* This file was generated by /var/tmp/kernel-source-2.6.14_rc4-build/usr/src/linux-2.6.14-rc4-2/Kbuild

Remove the $RPM_BUILD_ROOT string in the shipped tempfile.

kbuild: add unifdef

This patch contains a raw copy of unifdef.c
Next patch will modify it and add infrastructure to use it Adding unifdef to the kernel is acked by the author.

The reason to add unifdef as part of the kernel source is that it is not yet a common utility on most distributions.

kbuild: always use $(CC) for $(call cc-version)

The possibility to specify an optional parameter did not work out as expected and it was not used - so remove the possibility.

kbuild: consistently decide when to rebuild a target

Consistently decide when to rebuild a target across all of if_changed, if_changed_dep, if_changed_rule.
PHONY targets are now treated alike (ignored) for all targets

While add it make Kbuild.include almost readable by factoring out a few bits to some common variables and reuse this in Makefile.build.

kconfig: support DOS line endings

Kconfig doesn't currently handle config files with DOS line endings. While these are, of course, an abomination, etc, etc, it can be handy to not have to convert them first. It's also a tiny patch and even adds support for lines ending in just \r or even \n\r.

kconfig: correct oldconfig for unset choice options

oldconfig currently ignores unset choice options and doesn't ask for them. Correct the SYMBOL_DEF_USER flag of the choice symbol to be only set if it's set for all values.

kbuild: -fno-stack-protector is not good

Ubuntu gcc has hardcoded -fstack-protector - but does not understand -fno-stack-protector-all. So only try -fno-stack-protector.

kbuild: improve error from file2alias

The original errormessage was just plain unreadable.

Sample error message after this update (not for real - I provoked it):

FATAL: drivers/net/s2io: sizeof(struct pci_device_id)=33 is not a modulo of the size of section __mod_pci_device_table=160.
Fix definition of struct pci_device_id in mod_devicetable.h

Before a warning was generated - this is now a fatal error.

kbuild: hardcode value of YACC&LEX for aic7-triple-x
