[PATCH] kconfig: ignore temporary generated files

[PATCH] kconfig: ignore temporary generated files

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@baylibre.com>

If building gconfig fails, a temporary gtk config file is left in the
kconfig directory and is not ignored by git. Add an appropriate pattern
to .gitignore.

I have no idea in which situation this pattern is left.

Could you tell me the way to reproduce it?

Sure:

1. Don't have gtk+ development files installed.
2. Run `make gconfig`.
3. Watch it fail with the following error message:

---
$ make gconfig
*
* Unable to find the GTK+ installation. Please make sure that
* the GTK+ 2.0 development package is correctly installed.
* You need gtk+-2.0 gmodule-2.0 libglade-2.0
*
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/Makefile:212: scripts/kconfig/gconf-cfg] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:568: gconfig] Error 2
---

4. See the file `gconf-cfg.tmp` under scripts/kconfig.

Thanks for this info.

This seems a kbuild bug, so I fixed the root cause
instead of hiding the garbage files.
