In commit 6136765b23abd9faba610dd54ed276a777811575 ("toolchain:
generate check-headers program under $(BUILD_DIR)"), the
check_kernel_headers_version function was simplified to not check the
return value of the check-kernel-headers.sh script, assuming that
"make" does bail out on the first failing command.

However, check_kernel_headers_version when used in $(2)_CONFIGURE_CMDS
from pkg-toolchain-external.mk, is called in a sequence of commands,
where the return value of each command is not checked. Therefore, a
failure of check-kernel-headers.sh no longer aborts the build.

Since all other macros are using this principle of calling "exit 1",
we revert back to the same for check_kernel_headers_version, as it was
done prior to 6136765b23abd9faba610dd54ed276a777811575.

The function became a one-liner after commit 6136765b23. Wouldn't it
be simpler and more readable to run the script and test the result,
both in linux-headers.mk and pkg-toolchain-external.mk?

Yes, we could certainly do that. The aim of my patch was really just to
get back to where we were before, to fix the immediate issue. This of
course doesn't mean we can't improve things further.

I'll let Peter/Arnout/Yann decide what they want to do (i.e apply my
patch as-is, or have a more elaborate version).

Thanks!

Thomas

Hum, perhaps we should keep the design pattern, considering that other
functions (e.g. check_gcc_version) are used the same way, so
