I dropped this patch from my tree
because it has a drawback.


When I run 'make' in a pristine source tree,
I see a strange 'scripts/basic/fixdep: not found' error message.


$ make mrproper; make
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o
/bin/sh: 1: scripts/basic/fixdep: not found
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.host;109: scripts/kconfig/conf.o] Error 127
make[1]: *** Deleting file 'scripts/kconfig/conf.o'
Makefile:594: include/config/auto.conf: No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile;634: include/config/auto.conf] Error 2
