If the shell variable BUILDROOT_LOCAL is defined, then LOCAL can be anywhere,
including relative to the current tree.

Check "project.mk"

The purpose of this is to allow you to start with an existing defconfig,
and the commands will collects the different configurations in one place.
You can't replace this function with defconfigs, but you can use the result
to create new defconfigs.


At this time, not having access to the source tree, I can't see why LOCAL
is defined *after* the include, so maybe this needs to be moved.
Feel free to test.
