here I would like to point out that package/kodi-platform/Config.in is 
not sourced in package/Config.in but in package/kodi/Config.in, guarded 
by "if BR2_PACKAGE_KODI".

All kodi-related packages, besides kodi itself, can only be selected when 
Kodi was selected before and since Kodi is written in c++ this dependency 
is and will always be fulfilled. If kodi ever switches the language it is 
written in I will come back to this topic ;)

Until now you were unable to convince me that adding "depends on 
BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP", plus comments that will never be visible in 
menuconfig, to all kodi-related packages is necessary due to the way the 
kodi packages are added to menuconfig, i.e. only selectable after kodi 
was selected.
