Created attachment 9496
  --> https://bugs.busybox.net/attachment.cgi?id=9496&action=edit
try to find BR2_PACKAGE_GNU_EFI_ARCH_SUPPORTS in buildroot

In my example pc_x86_bios_defconfig
https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=15246#c5 I have option
BR2_PACKAGE_GNU_EFI_ARCH_SUPPORTS=y

I try to find Location of this option, but nothing. 
But for all others options (such as BR2_PACKAGE_GNU_EFI) I can find Location.
Is it a bug?

--- Comment #1 from Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@bootlin.com> ---
This option is what is called a "blind" option, i.e it has no prompt, and
therefore it is not visible as an option in menuconfig.

Blind options are very common in Kconfig, not just in Buildroot, but also in
the Linux kernel. In the particular case of BR2_PACKAGE_GNU_EFI_ARCH_SUPPORTS,
it is a boolean blind option that allows other options to know if the currently
selected architecture is supported by gnu-efi or not.
