'allnoconfig' is described by 'make help' as a "minimal config", that's not
strictly correct. To be pedantic, a minimal config would be one where
EMBEDDED was set to Y and most things therein disabled etc. Simply
answering 'no' to all options does not give a minimal config.
A better description of allnoconfig is that it answers all options with 'no'.

This patch updates the description.

This reverts commit 5e375bc7.

Kyle McMartin steps on his soap-box:

  "Sigh.  Can everyone please stop assuming gcc can output to /dev/null?
   On several platforms, ld tries to lseek in the output file, and fails
   if it can't."

On a system where libintl.h is present, but the NLS functionality is
supplied by a separate library instead of the system C library, an attempt
to "make config" or "make menuconfig" will fail with link errors, ex:

  scripts/kconfig/mconf.o:mconf.c:(.text+0xf63): undefined reference to
    `_libintl_gettext'

This patch attempts to correct the problem by detecting whether or not NLS
support requires linking with libintl.

This makes pkg-config now the prefered way to configure QT and properly

Use gperf to generate a hash for the kconfig keywords.  This greatly reduces
the size of the generated scanner and makes it easier to extend kconfig.

From: Than Ngo <than@redhat.com>
qt as installed on fedora core (2 and 3) does not work with vanilla
kernel. The linker fails to locate the qt lib:

Actual Results:  # make xconfig
  HOSTLD  scripts/kconfig/qconf
  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Than Ngo has provided following fix for the bug.

I made a patch that detects if libintl.h (needed for nls) is present on the
host system and if it's not, it nls support is disabled by providing
dummies for the used nls functions.

This way if there is nls support on the host system the *config targets
will build according to Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo's i18n modifications, else
it just uses the original English messages.

I have also made a bug report at kernel's bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5501
And there is a discussion about this problem in Gentoo's bugzilla:

This patch adds i18n support for make *config, allowing users to have the
config process in their own language.

No printk was harmed in the process, don't worry, so all the bug reports,
kernel messages, etc, remain in english, just the user tools to configure
the kernel are internationalized.

Users not interested in translations can just unset the related LANG,
LC_ALL, etc env variables and have the config process in plain english,
something like:

LANG= make menuconfig

is enough for having the whole config process in english. Or just don't
install any translation file.

Translations for brazilian portuguese are being done by a team of
volunteers at:

http://www.visionflex.inf.br/kernel_ptbr/pmwiki.php/Principal/Traducoes

To start the translation process:

  make update-po-config

  This will generate the pot template named scripts/kconfig/linux.pot,
  copy it to, say, ~/es.po, to start the translation for spanish.

To test your translation, as root issue this command:

  msgfmt -o /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/linux.mo ~/es.po

  Replace "es" with your language code.

  Then execute, for instance:

  make menuconfig

The current patch doesn't use any optimization to reduce the size of the
generated .mo file, it is possible to use the config option as a key, but
this doesn't prevent the current patch from being used or the translations
done under the current scheme to be in any way lost if we chose to do any
kind of keying.

Thanks to Fabricio Vaccari for starting the pt_BR (brazilian portuguese)
translation effort, Thiago Maciera for helping me with the gconf.cc (QT
frontent) i18n coding and to all the volunteers that are already working on
the first translation, to pt_BR.

I left the question on whether to ship the translations with the stock kernel
sources to be discussed here, please share your suggestions.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
