Unfortunately, this is too Linux specific for my taste, and I don't have
neither the time nor the interest in making it portable to other, non-Linux
systems right now :(

For instance, it doens't even *begin* to build on FreeBSD, with the system
version of make(1):

    $ make menuconfig
    "Makefile", line 35: Need an operator
    "Makefile", line 36: Missing dependency operator
    "Makefile", line 38: Need an operator
    "Makefile", line 39: Need an operator
    "Makefile", line 40: Need an operator
    "Makefile", line 42: Need an operator
    "Makefile", line 47: Need an operator
    [...]

Using GNU make(1) is only slightly better, but it still fails with errors
like:

      SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/lex.zconf.c
      SHIPPED scripts/kconfig/zconf.hash.c
      HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o
      HOSTLD  scripts/kconfig/mconf
    [: 1: unexpected operator
    [: 1: unexpected operator
    [: 1: unexpected operator
      HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.o

Not good enough.  I'll stick to GNU patch(1) for now.
