From 1cabb74b7d629262319c9e348962088a0697fe33 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Yann E. MORIN\"" Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2013 22:38:48 +0100 Subject: scripts: check for running as root Running as root is really, really dangerous. Add a runtime-check that refuses to build if running as root. Can be overriden with a double switch in the menuconfig. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.
