This file should be the output of "make savedefconfig". It clearly
isn't the case here, with some fairly random options listed.

This clearly has no reason to be here, it's a blind Config.in option.

All of this will change once you had a proper package for your external
toolchain.

Please instead use:

BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR="board/andes/patches/"

not needed, this is already the default.
