linux: do_configure fails - no rule to make target 'oldconfig'

[KristofRobot]

When building against the newest openembedded master, the below failure
occurs.

DEBUG: Executing shell function do_configure
NOTE: make oldconfig
make: *** No rule to make target `oldconfig'.  Stop.
ERROR: oe_runmake failed
WARNING: exit code 1 from a shell command.
ERROR: Function failed: do_configure

Apparently this is already fixed in meta-raspberrypi, see djwillis/meta-raspberrypi@1eda7e8

We should do something similar.

Note: I am working on this - should be able to submit a pull request shortly.
