Change the use of .config in kernel/Makefile to $(KCONFIG_CONFIG). Currently, if you try to build a kernel with KCONFIG_CONFIG set (to a value not equal to .config) and the config file pointed to by KCONFIG_CONFIG sets CONFIG_IKCONFIG then the build will fail with: make[1]: *** No rule to make target `.config', needed by `kernel/config_data.gz'. Stop. I think this has been present since the introduction of KCONFIG_CONFIG in 14cdd3c402bf7c66f0bcd76e290f0770a54a4b21.
