From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fix "make tools/help" to skip "make syncconfig". "make tools/help" currently tries to run "make syncconfig" even though there is no .config file and one is not needed just to get help text output. With no .config file, make says: *** Configuration file ".config" not found! *** Please run some configurator (e.g. "make oldconfig" or *** "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig"). scripts/kconfig/Makefile:40: recipe for target 'syncconfig' failed make[2]: *** [syncconfig] Error 1 Makefile:525: recipe for target 'syncconfig' failed and then goes on to run: make LDFLAGS= MAKEFLAGS=" " O=/linux/linux-next-20180426 subdir=tools -C ./tools/ help which produces the requested help text. However, the "syncconfig" efforts are not needed, so skip them by making "tools/help" be part of the no-dot-config-targets rule.
