commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=96f8d0bb4605d119d9c52b22e0032935b1fe8a29
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

The external toolchain configure step calls the
check_kernel_headers_version make function to compare the kernel
headers version declared in the configuration with the actual kernel
headers of the toolchain.

This function takes 4 arguments, but due to a missing comma what
should be the first two arguments are both passed into the first
argument. Due to this, when check_kernel_headers_version does:

	if ! support/scripts/check-kernel-headers.sh $(1) $(2) $(3) \
		$(if $(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HEADERS_LATEST),$(4),strict); \

Then:

  $(1) contains "$(BUILD_DIR) $$(call toolchain_find_sysroot,$$(TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CC))"
  $(2) contains "$$(call qstrip,$$(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HEADERS_AT_LEAST))"
  $(3) contains "$$(if $$(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CUSTOM),loose,strict))"

So from the point of view of check-kernel-headers.sh, it already has
four arguments, and therefore the additional argument passed by:

   $(if $(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HEADERS_LATEST),$(4),strict); \

is ignored, defeating the $(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HEADERS_LATEST) test.

The practical consequence is that a toolchain that has 5.4 kernel
headers but declared as using 5.3 kernel headers does not abort the
build, because the check is considered "loose" while it should be
"strict".
