[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/3] mkconfig: create CONFIG_ defines without relying on GNU extensions

Parsing of boards.cfg relies on sed GNU extensions and fails if sed

yes I did build all arm boards on ubuntu (and i386?) on ubuntu. (it 
didn't build more
nor less boards). As pointed out by Mike there might be a a patch more 
closely to
the original, but I will need to test that (especially if GNU support 
it), and will do that
tomorrow (today actually CEST). So preferably take that one.

The BSD version doesn't understand \t, so it is a literal tab character. 
Can't help it.

Jeroen
