Hi Linus.

Please pull following kbuild bug-fixes:
o kconfig: fix /dev/null breakage

o kbuild: fix build with O=..

Purely bug-fixes that annoys a number of people. Should been in before
-rc2 but did not get around to mail a pull request.

    kconfig: fix /dev/null breakage
    
    While running "make menuconfig" and "make mrproper"
    some people experienced that /dev/null suddenly changed
    permissions or suddenly became a regular file.
    The main reason was that /dev/null was used as output
    to gcc in the check-lxdialog.sh script and gcc did
    some strange things with the output file; in this
    case /dev/null when it errorred out.
    
    Following patch implements a suggestion
    from Bryan O'Sullivan <bos@serpentine.com> to
    use gcc -print-file-name=libxxx.so.
    
    Also the Makefile is adjusted to not resolve value of
    HOST_EXTRACFLAGS and HOST_LOADLIBES until they are actually used.
    This prevents us from calling gcc when running make *clean/mrproper
    
    Thanks to Eyal Lebedinsky <eyal@eyal.emu.id.au> and
    Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> for the first error reports.

    kbuild: fix build with O=..
    
    .kernelrelease was saved in same directory as kernel source also
    with make O=...
    Make sure we kick in the normal logic to shift to the output directory
    when we build .kernelrelease after executing *config.
