Subject: build: add option to warn on recursive dependency
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3204430e38f1a2ba7fda9471720a2a1042adf5e0;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Frmilecki.git

build: add option to warn on recursive dependency

This addes the option to treat recursive dependencies as warnings
instead of errors, by running make with WARN_RECURSIVE_DEP=1.

Note that the script/config targets will not get rebuilt when you add or
remove WARN_RECURSIVE_DEP while running make.  One must run
'make config-clean' before building config with a different setting.
