config-mycompat.h is for overriding macros which are incorrectly
enabled on certain kernels by the build system. The file should be
left empty, unless build errors are encountered for a kernel. The
file is removed by distclean, therefore should be externally
sourced, before the build process starts, when required.
In standard operation the file is empty, but if a particular kernel has
incorrectly enabled options defined this allows them to be undefined.
