The point is, what would such a change buy us? It needs going through all 
Makefiles, updating 

	ifdef CONFIG_XYZ

to

	ifneq ($(CONFIG_XYZ),n)


(or ifeq ($(CONFIG_XYZ),y) when we now it's a bool)

Actually, now this won't handle the CONFIG_XYZ unset case, which may well 
happen since a part of Config.in which would set or unset the symbols 
may not even get sourced.

So we really have to use

	ifneq ($(subst n,,$(CONFIG_XYZ),)

instead. That's ugly and doesn't have any advantage over what we have 
now, AFAICS.

Inside the Config.in scripts it's annoying that you have to check against
"n" || "" (or ! ("y" || "m") ). The reasons for that lie, for all I can
tell, in the use of sh/bash for the original Configure script. In any
case, if this behavior is considered too annoying, it should be fixed in
the config system, but there's no reason to change the Makefile/.config 
syntax, too.

(I think it may actually possible to fix it even within Configure, by just
always using <undef> instead of "n" - Configure needs to keep track of all
the encountered symbols anyway - but I didn't try. This would also
decrease the confusion, as then both the Makefiles and Config.in would
both use "y","m",<undef>.

W.r.t autoconfigure, I think that can easily be achieved using/extending 
the existing .config format.

Just have

	# CONFIG_FOO is not set
vs
	# CONFIG_FOO=n

or even

	<CONFIG_FOO not mentioned in .config>

vs the current

	# CONFIG_FOO is not set

Should be nicely compatible with all existing tools.

BTW that's not the only problem, a symbol might be defined in
arch/foo/config.in, but not in arch/bar/config.in, so even xconfig doesn't
see everything.

They do, see for example load_config_file in scripts/Menuconfig, or around

A symbol is unset if it does not occur in .config at all.  Having "#
CONFIG_foo is not set" in .config is completely the same as
"CONFIG_foo=n".

This would mean, tristate symbols had four states instead of three. The

Depending on the configuration a symbol could be unset or 'n'.

Wouldn't it be better to fix the existing config tools to output "=n"
instead of "# CONFIG_foo is not set" ?  IIRC they do the translation
back and forth internally anyway, so it should be just a matter of
removing some code from the tools.

After all, the earlier we update the config tools, the earlier we can
do something with the makefiles (after a reasonable period for things
like mconfig to catch up...)

It is required if you ever want autoconfigure to work, that
distinguishes between "" (undefined) and "n" (explicitly turned off).

Makes sense to me. However, the CONFIG_ variables used in the Makefiles 
are never "n", they are "y", "m" or undefined.

In Config.in scripts you have to cater for "n" or "", and I've seen 
various people on l-k carry this behavior into the Makefiles, but there 
it's unnecessary for all I can tell.

So

ifdef CONFIG_LLC
obj-y += ext8022.o
endif

should do the job just fine.

This will be moot when I remove p8022.c from the kernel (in fact all of
net/802), which I plan to do before 2.5 freeze 8)

Sorry, missed that change the first time.

The problem is net/802/Makefile which includes p8022 for any of
CONFIG_LLC, CONFIG_TR, CONFIG_IPX or CONFIG_ATALK.  p8022 calls
llc_register_sap which is in ext8022.o, that file is built by
net/core/Makefile but only for CONFIG_LLC.  It worked before because of
the wrong test in net/core/Makefile which always built ext8022.o.

Davem - we could unconditionally build ext8022.o when CONFIG_NET=y or
we could do this

Same bug maybe, but triggered in different ways.
Note the CONFIG_NET change between your report and mine.

With mainline kbuild this isn't an issue, but your fix breaks it.
