The kbuild system takes advantage of an incorrect behavior in GNU make.
Once this behavior is fixed, all files in the kernel rebuild every time,
even if nothing has changed. This patch ensures kbuild works with both
the incorrect and correct behaviors of GNU make.
For more details on the incorrect behavior, see:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2006-03/msg00003.html
Changes in this patch:
- Keep all targets that are to be marked .PHONY in a variable, PHONY.
- Add .PHONY: $(PHONY) to mark them properly.
- Remove any $(PHONY) files from the $? list when determining whether
targets are up-to-date or not.

Building an allmodconfig kernel for ppc64 revealed a number of false
positives - originally reported by Andrew Morton.
This patch removes most if not all false positives for ppc64:
Section .opd
The .opd section contains function descriptors at least for ppc64.
So ignore it for .init.text (was ignored for .exit.text).
See description of function descriptors here:
http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/ELF/ppc64/PPC-elf64abi-1.7.html
Section .toc1
ppc64 places some static variables in .toc1 - ignore the.
Section __bug_tabe
BUG() and friends uses __bug_table. Ignore warnings from that section.
Module parameters are placed in .data.rel for ppc64, for adjust pattern to
match on section named .data*
Tested with gcc: 3.4.0 and binutils 2.15.90.0.3

'allnoconfig' is described by 'make help' as a "minimal config", that's not
strictly correct. To be pedantic, a minimal config would be one where
EMBEDDED was set to Y and most things therein disabled etc. Simply
answering 'no' to all options does not give a minimal config.
A better description of allnoconfig is that it answers all options with 'no'.
This patch updates the description.

In several cases the section mismatch check triggered false warnings.
Following patch introduce a whitelist to 'false positives' are not warned of.
Two types of patterns are recognised:
1) Typical case when a module parameter is _initdata
2) When a function pointer is assigned to a driver structure
In both patterns we rely on the actual name of the variable assigned

Andrew Morton reported a number of false positives for ia64 - like these:
WARNING: drivers/acpi/button.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .IA_64.unwind.init.text after '' (at offset 0x0)
WARNING: drivers/acpi/button.o - Section mismatch: reference to .exit.text: from .IA_64.unwind.exit.text after '' (at offset 0x0)
WARNING: drivers/acpi/processor.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .IA_64.unwind after '' (at offset 0x1e8)
They are all false positives - or at least the .c code looks OK.
It is not known why sometimes a section name is appended and sometimes not.
Fix is to accept references from all sections that includes "unwind." in the name.

With the current way of generating the Makefile in the output directory
for builds outside of the source tree, specifying real targets (rather
than phony ones) doesn't work in an already (partially) built tree, as
the stub Makefile doesn't have any dependency information available.
Thus, all targets where files may actually exist must be listed
explicitly and, due to what I'd call a make misbehavior, directory
targets must then also be special cased.

While the recent change to also escape # symbols when storing C-file
compilation command lines was helpful, it should be in effect for all
command lines, as much as the dollar escaping should be in effect for
C-source compilation commands. Additionally, for better readability and
maintenance, consolidating all the escaping (single quotes, dollars,
and now sharps) was also desirable.

Move $(CC) support functions to Kbuild.include so they are available
in the kbuild files.
In addition the following was done:
o as-option documented in Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt
o Moved documentation to new section to match
new scope of functions
o added cc-ifversion used to conditionally select a text string
dependent on actual $(CC) version
o documented cc-ifversion
o change so Kbuild.include is read before the kbuild file

Section mismatch is identified as references to .init*
sections from non .init sections. And likewise references
to .exit.* sections outside .exit sections.
.init.* sections are discarded after a module is initialized
and references to .init.* sections are oops candidates.
.exit.* sections are discarded when a module is built-in and
thus references to .exit are also oops candidates.
The checks were possible to do using 'make buildcheck' which
called the two perl scripts: reference_discarded.pl and
reference_init.pl. This patch just moves the same functionality
inside modpost and the scripts are then obsoleted.
They will though be kept for a while so users can do double
checks - but note that some .o files are skipped by the perl scripts
so result is not 1:1.
All credit for the concept goes to Keith Owens who implemented
the original perl scrips - this patch just moves it to modpost.
Compared to the perl script the implmentation in modpost will be run
for each kernel build - thus catching the error much sooner, but
the downside is that the individual .o file are not always identified.

With following patch a second option is enabled to obtain
symbol information from a second external module when a
external module is build.
The recommended approach is to use a common kbuild file but
that may be impractical in certain cases.
With this patch one can copy over a Module.symvers from one
external module to make symbols (and symbol versions) available
for another external module.

On a system where libintl.h is present, but the NLS functionality is
supplied by a separate library instead of the system C library, an attempt
to "make config" or "make menuconfig" will fail with link errors, ex:
scripts/kconfig/mconf.o:mconf.c:(.text+0xf63): undefined reference to
`_libintl_gettext'
This patch attempts to correct the problem by detecting whether or not NLS
support requires linking with libintl.

While running "make menuconfig" and "make mrproper"
some people experienced that /dev/null suddenly changed
permissions or suddenly became a regular file.
The main reason was that /dev/null was used as output
to gcc in the check-lxdialog.sh script and gcc did
some strange things with the output file; in this
case /dev/null when it errorred out.
Following patch implements a suggestion
from Bryan O'Sullivan <bos@serpentine.com> to
use gcc -print-file-name=libxxx.so.
Also the Makefile is adjusted to not resolve value of
HOST_EXTRACFLAGS and HOST_LOADLIBES until they are actually used.
This prevents us from calling gcc when running make *clean/mrproper
