[PATCH] kconfig: fix /dev/null breakage

[Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>]

Following patch should fix all issues with /dev/null changing
permissions and becoming a rugulary file.
Thanks to Bryan for the gcc -print-file-name=libxxx.so idea!

To do the final check I still use a link. Just to make sure everything
is OK.
That may prove overkill, but left it as is for now.

Jan, Eyal, Jean, Bryan - thanks for testing/inputs!

PS. Feeling shitty, will push out after some sleep.

	Sam
