and locate them in a specific directory when exported.
Introduce destiantion-y to support this.
This patch in additiona adds some limited
documentation for the variables used for exported headers.

The text always mentions ...bin.o_shipped, just the example makefiles
actually use ...bin_shipped. It was corrected in one place some time
ago, these ones seem to have been forgotten.

This patch reintroduce the ALLSOURCE_ARCHS support for tags/TAGS/
cscope targets. The Kbuild previously has this feature, but after
moving the targets into scripts/tags.sh, ALLSOURCE_ARCHS disappears.
It's something like this:
$ make ALLSOURCE_ARCHS="x86 mips arm" tags cscope

Create a kconfig user assistance guide, with a few tips and hints

Mostly contains user interface, environment variables, and search topics,
along with mini.config/custom.config usage.

There is a bunch of places in the build system where we do 'echo' to show
some nice status lines. This means we still get output when running in
silent mode. So declare a new KECHO variable that only does 'echo' when we
are in a suitable verbose build mode.

This patch adds a new (Kbuild) Makefile variable KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS.
The space separated list of file names assigned to KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS
is used when calling scripts/mod/modpost during stage 2 of the Kbuild
process for non-kernel-tree modules.

cc-cross-prefix is useful for the architecture that like
to provide a default CROSS_COMPILE value,
but may have several to select between.
Sample usage:
ifneq ($(SUBARCH),$(ARCH))
ifeq ($(CROSS_COMPILE),)
CROSS_COMPILE := $(call cc-cross-prefix, m68k-linux-gnu- m68k-linux-)
endif
endif
Actual usage by the different archs will taken care of later.

Introduce ccflags-y, asflags-y and ldflags-y so we soon can
deprecate use of EXTRA_CFLAGS, EXTRA_AFLAGS and EXTRA_LDFLAGS.
This patch does not touch any in-tree users - thats next round.
Lets get this committed first and then fix the users of the
soon to be deprecated variants next.
The rationale behind this change is to introduce support for
makefile fragments like:
ccflags-$(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG) := -DDEBUG
As a replacement for the uglier:
ifeq ($(CONFIG_WHATEVER_DEBUG),y)
EXTRA_CFLAGS := -DDEBUG
endif

The variable CPPFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by
kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour.
This patch replace use of CPPFLAGS with KBUILD_CPPFLAGS all over the
tree and enabling one to use:
make CPPFLAGS=...
to specify additional CPP commandline options.
Patch was tested on following architectures:
alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k, s390

This patch replace use of CFLAGS with KBUILD_CFLAGS all over the

One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other

Test was simple to do a defconfig build, apply the patch and check
