make config: Makefile:291: *** mixed implicit and normal rules. Stop. (fixed)

[sigma]

Running "make config" results in:

cd <install directory>/linux; make config
make[1]: Entering directory `<install directory>/linux'
Makefile:291: *** mixed implicit and normal rules.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `<install directory>/linux'
make: *** [config] Error 2

In make 3.82 the parser was "tightened" and mixing of implicit and normal rules is no longer possible (see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bu.../msg00091.html)
This is a patch for the Linux SDK (tested against 2.0.0.2 and 2.0.0.3) "linux/Makefile" to support make >= 3.82:
