Summary:                    uclibc.mk produces .config that confuses uclibc's
configuration system
Description: 
If building for ARM, and providing an configuration from a file in a target
sub-directory, the uclibc.mk file incorrectly re-writes the .config for
building uclibc, causing warnings and an incorrect .config

The problem stems from unsetting CONFIG_<x> options, then re-specifying
them as CONFIG_<x>=y later in the file. The current configuration system
(make oldconfig) seems to take the first occurence as the proper setting.
This means that options that should be set end up being unset as 'make
oldconfig' removes any further refrences to CONFIG_<x> from the file.

For example, if you specify the buildroot config as CONFIG_ARM920T=y, then
the uclibc.mk removes that turning it into # CONFIG_ARM920T is unset and
then adds CONFIG_ARM920T=y to the end of the file. Then 'make oldconfig'
is run, and CONFIG_ARM920T=y is deleted, thus causing CONFIG_GENERIC_ARM=y
to be placed in the config file.

The warnings produced by 'make oldconfig' are:
config:209:warning: trying to reassign symbol CONFIG_ARM920T
.config:210:warning: trying to reassign symbol CONFIG_ARM_OABI
.config:211:warning: trying to reassign symbol CONFIG_ARM_EABI

Also note, that the EABI/OABI are also being warned about, so are
also fixed.

The simple fix is to change the sed expressions unsetting these options to
simply deleting them from the file.
