Summary:                    SVN buildroot does not build configuration package
Description: 
The new import of the package/config no longer builds even for the default
by using 'make'

The following fails building mconf.c.

/usr/bin/gcc -g -O2   -c -o mconf.o mconf.c
In file included from mconf.c:27:
lxdialog/dialog.h:32:10: error: #include expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME>
In file included from mconf.c:27:
lxdialog/dialog.h:97: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before
'chtype'

This seems to require the $(HOST_EXTRACFLAGS) to build. 

I tried adding:

%.o: %.c
        $(HOSTCC) $(HOST_EXTRACFLAGS) $(HOSTCFLAGS) $(HOSTCFLAGS_$@) -c $<
-o $@

but this just then fails to link the project.

I do not have enough make expertise to try and fix this, as it is a
complicated piece of make.

Partially corrected by the fix to write .config.cmd, but menuconfig
still returns an error even if it correctly writes a config. Updated
package/config patch to follow

menuconfig error return by ensuring we do not try things like writing the
split configuration headers and moving the autogenerated configuration
files .tmpconfig and .tmpconfig.h to a directory which isn't used.

The attached patch is a list of instructions, not a patch... it's not
usable without knowing perhaps a kernel version it comes from and such.

looks like the change in 18991 helped.  (looking at: svn diff -r 18991
package/config/confdata.c)

I have a patch that will resolve; will try to attach tonight after I clean
it a bit -- basically copies the mkdir stuff from confdata.c at 614 to a
separate function and re-uses before the rename() calls.
