If you update the timestamp of KCONFIG_CONFIG without actually changing
anything, config_data.gz is re-generated and causes vmlinux to re-link.
When Link Time Optimization is enabled, unnecessary re-linking of
vmlinux is highly desirable since it adds several minutes to build time.

Avoid touching config_data.gz by using a script to compare the existing
config_data.gz, KCONFIG_CONFIG, or script itself to update only if any
is mismatched.  The script follows gen_kheaders.sh approach for
determing in update is needed. The script intentionally avoids
re-compressing KCONFIG_CONFIG.

The .config can be touched, for instance, by a build script which
installs the default defconfig and then applies a defconfig fragment on
top.

For a simple example on my x86 machine, I modified x86 default defconfig to set
CONFIG_IKCONFIG=y and run:
  make -j50 defconfig tiny.config vmlinux
  make -j50 defconfig tiny.config vmlinux
With this patch, vmlinux is not re-built as a result of config_data.gz
change.

Changes in v2:
 - Use md5 checksum to compare .config instead of gzip'ing again

Sorry for the delay.

This patch is over-engineering.

I will apply this.

The 'cmp' command is not expensive.
md5sum is unneeded.

No problem!

I thought so, too.
