Some users of kconfig need some packages to be built before their
kconfig infra be used.
For example, the linux kernel, starting with 4.16, needs flex and bison
to generate the parser code. Furthermore, starting with 4.18, it will
also need the cross-compiler before parsing the kconfig stuff, because
that calls the compiler to check its features.
Currently, this is broken, even the flex/bison ones, even though they
are listed, because there is no way to define dependencie that are
guaranteed before the (visual) configurators. For example:
$ make distclean
$ make menuconfig
--> enable the linux kernel, choose a defconfig, save, exit
$ make linux-menuconfig
[...]
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o
YACC scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c
/bin/sh: bison: command not found
LEX scripts/kconfig/zconf.lex.c
scripts/Makefile.lib:196: recipe for target 'scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c' failed
make[3]: *** [scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c] Error 127
make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
/bin/sh: flex: command not found
scripts/Makefile.lib:188: recipe for target 'scripts/kconfig/zconf.lex.c' failed
make[3]: *** [scripts/kconfig/zconf.lex.c] Error 127
Makefile:528: recipe for target 'rpc_defconfig' failed
make[2]: *** [rpc_defconfig] Error 2
linux/linux.mk:511: recipe for target '/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/buildroot/output/build/linux-4.17.11/.config' failed
make[1]: *** [/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/buildroot/output/build/linux-4.17.11/.config] Error 2
Makefile:79: recipe for target '_all' failed
make: *** [_all] Error 2
So, we introduce a new type of dependencies for kconfig-based packages,
that are guaranteed to be built and installed before the (visual)
configurators are called.
Since those dependencies are phony targets and therefore always out of
date, a normal dependency would cause the .config target to be rebuilt
on each invocation of make. So we use an order-only pre-requisite, like
is done for the patch dependency.

README
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. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
