The cc-option macro creates the temporary directory, .tmp_$$$$, which is expanded into .tmp_<PID><PID>, but the second <PID> is redundant. (<PID> is the process ID of the sub-shell) If it were the Makefile code, .tmp_$$$$ would be the correct code. (see the TMPOUT macro in scripts/Malefile.compiler) In Makefile, '$$' is an escape sequence of '$'. Make expands '$$$$' into '$$', then shell expands it into the process ID. This does not apply to Kconfig because Kconfig requires variable references to be enclosed by curly braces, like ${variable}. The '$' that is not followed by '{' loses its special function.
