Currently, fixdep skips parsing include/linux/kconfig.h, but if it parsed it, it would translate the following code in kconfig.h

config_enabled(CONFIG_VAL(option##_MODULE)

into:

$(wildcard include/config/option##/module.h)

When Kbuild includes .*.cmd, it would emit the following error:

*** unterminated call to function 'wildcard': missing ')'. Stop.

This issue prevents us from importing the upstream Linux commit 638e69cf2230 ("fixdep: do not ignore kconfig.h").

Fix this by handling only alphanumerical characters and underscores. This makes sense because they match to the valid character sets in Kconfig symbols.

As a side-note, you can reproduce this issue only on GNU Make <= 4.2.1

For GNU Make <= 4.2.1, the '#' always means the start of a comment. Hence, GNU Make thinks the closing ')' is missing.

The following commit in GNU Make changed how it handles '#' in function invocations. So, this does not happen for GNU Make 4.3
