[PATCH] kbuild: check for pkg-config on make menu/n/g/xconfig

[PATCH] kbuild: check for pkg-config on make menu/n/g/xconfig

[Randy Dunlap]

From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org>

Each of 'make {menu,n,g,x}config' uses (needs) pkg-config to make sure
that other required files are present, but none of these check that
pkg-config itself is present.  Add a check for all 4 of these targets.

Fixes kernel bugzilla #77511:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77511

I'm also OK with just documenting the pkg-config requirement in
Documentation/Changes (= Documentation/process/changes.rst).

Please use "command -v" instead of "which". command -v is in POSIX, so
the shell will have it for sure (builtin). which is not a builtin, it
is an external command that may or may not be installed on the system.

Best regards,

Will do. Thanks.

Just waiting to see if there are any other comments...
