[PATCH] Kbuild: remove extra ifdef/endif of top Makefile

From: Cheng Renquan
Date: Tue May 26 2009 - 04:03:52 EST


From: Cheng Renquan <crq@xxxxxxxxxx>

The GNU make's origin function know undefined variable well,
so the outer ifdef/endif is unneeded.

I've checked the minimal requirements from Documentation/Changes
is GNU make 3.79.1, and that version of GNU make has support of
origin function already, so now it's safe to kill the outer
conditional checking, without upgrading the minimal requirements.
