kbuild: check asm symlink when building a kernel
We often hit the situation where the asm symlink in include/ points to the wrong architecture. In 9 out of 10 cases thats because we forgot to set ARCH but sometimes we just reused the same tree for another ARCH. For the merged x86 tree we need to create a new symlink but this is not obvious. So with the following patch we check if the symlink points to the correct architecture and error out if this is not the case. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
