Dear John Stile,

This line should be the title of the e-mail, as it will become the
title of the patch once applied. Please use 'git send-email' to send
your patches, it will make sure that everything is done properly, and
will save you a lot of issues.

As Gilles said, this note is useless, since AI_ADDRCONFIG is enabled by
default.

Also, after this help text, leave one blank line, and add the upstream
URL of the project. See all other Config.in files for packages in
Buildroot's tree. See also

I already told you this would have no effect. BR2_USE_MMU is either 'y'
or empty. So it should be:

ifeq ($(BR2_USE_MMU),)

I grepped through the entire dhcpcd source tree, and I haven't seen
this HASIPv6 thing mentioned anywhere. Where did you get this from?

We usually indent the subsequent lines with one more tab:

	(cd $(@D); \
		./configure \
		--target=$(BR2_GCC_TARGET_ARCH) \
		--os=linux \
		$(DHCPCD_CONFIG_OPT))

Ditto here.

Also, as Gilles noted, if DHPCD_FLAGS expands to -UHASIPv6, then your
build will break: -UHASIPv6 is not a valid option for make.

Intend the subsequent line with one tab.

	$(INSTALL) -D -m 0755 $(@D)/dhcpcd \
		$(TARGET_DIR)/usr/bin/dhcpcd
