Bringing kconfig to EGLIBC
summary
Eglibc gains real kernel kconfig support via applied patches that wire kconfig-frontends into the eglibc build, using a pre-processing step to translate existing option groups and a post-processing step to write eglibc make fragments; current builds cut the ARM libc image from 1.2 MB → 830 KB in a poky-tiny configuration and disable networking/crypto/math features for further shrinkage. Sanity checks and dependency validation remain missing and the kconfig patches are still under review, not upstreamed.
