Hello Angel Pons, Arthur Heymans, build bot (Jenkins), Patrick Georgi, Martin Roth,
I'd like you to reexamine a change. Please visit

Makefile: Switch to `.config` as input for the Ada `CB.Config`
So, this is odd in multiple ways. First of all, we fix something: We work around a weirdness in `make oldconfig` that adds spurious entries into the `auto.conf` for choices that were given a symbol name.
When introducing the Ada config package, it seemed reasonable to use `auto.conf` as source, but it turned out that we didn't use it as input, only `config.h` and the original `.config` were used. As the syntax for `.config` is the same as for `auto.conf` we use the former now as input for Ada, too. One question remains: If `.config` already contains all required information, what is this `auto.conf` and what does it want?
Alternatively, we could try to fix `oldconfig` or add a linter to forbid named choices. I thought, our build test would reject the latter already. But the `oldconfig` behaviour is too subtle.
We keep a dependency on the `oldconfig` step, to make sure it runs first.
