If you carefully check the number of ../, you can find that it refers the
<topdir>/include/linux/bootconfig.h.
Since the bootconfig library code needs bootconfig.h but I don't like to make
a copy of the bootconfig.h under the tools directory, I made a dummy header
file which links to the kernel's bootconfig.h.

Thank you,
