Sometimes, features are simply different flavors of another feature, to properly detect the exact dependencies needed by different Linux distributions. For example, libbfd has three flavors: libbfd if the distro does not require any additional dependency; libbfd-liberty if it requires libiberty; libbfd-liberty-z if it requires libiberty and libz. It might not be clear to the user whether a feature has been successfully detected or not, given that some of its flavors will be set to OFF, others to ON. Instead, display only the feature main flavor if not in verbose mode (VF != 1), and set it to ON if at least one of its flavors has been successfully detected (logical OR), OFF otherwise. Omit the other flavors. Accomplish that by declaring a FEATURE_GROUP_MEMBERS-<feature main flavor> variable, with the list of the other flavors as variable value. For now, do it just for libbfd. In verbose mode, of if no group is defined for a feature, show the feature detection result as before.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
