    kbuild: sort hostprogs before passing it to ifneq · 85569d19

    The conditional:
    
      ifneq ($(hostprogs),)
    
    ... is evaluated to true if $(hostprogs) does not contain any word but
    whitespace characters.
    
      ifneq ($(strip $(hostprogs)),)
    
    ... is a safe way to avoid interpreting whitespace as a non-empty value,
    but I'd rather want to use the side-effect of $(sort ...) to do the
    equivalent.
    
    $(sort ...) is used in scripts/Makefile.host in order to drop duplication
    in $(hostprogs). It is also useful to strip excessive spaces.
    
    Move $(sort ...) before evaluating the ifneq.
