[kbuild-devel] [request for testing] kbuild: improving option checking

kbuild: improving option checking

 GNU binutils, root users, tmpfiles, external modules ro builds must
 be fixed to do the right thing now.

 In safe environment new /dev/null replacement may be use as simply as
 `echo  null', `gcc -o null'. In aggressive starting with $(null) is
 recommended.

 Feature: file $(objtree)/null isn't in any clear target (yet).
