           Summary: Buildroot overrides kernel config
           Product: buildroot
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other

Buildroot overrides certain directives in kernel configuration.

Example: when doing a clean build, unless BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS in
Buildroot's config file is set, kernel is built without initramfs support
despite it was enabled in file referenced by
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_CONFIG_FILE.

On the other hand if BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS is set, kernel image contains
complete root filesytem.

This is unacceptable - this way it is a problem to build kernel with initramfs
support but without actual filesystem embedded in the kernel, Buildroot shall
not be such invasive when custom configuration file is provided.
