Commit 067c650c456e ("dtc: Use pkg-config to locate libyaml") added
'pkg-config --libs' to link libyaml installed in a non-standard
location.
yamltree.c includes <yaml.h>, but that commit did not add the search
path for <yaml.h>. If /usr/include/yaml.h does not exist, it fails to
build. A user can explicitly pass HOSTCFLAGS to work around it, but
the policy is not consistent.
There are two ways to deal with libraries in a non-default location.
[1] Use HOSTCFLAGS and HOSTLDFLAGS for additional search paths for
headers and libraries.
They are documented in Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.rst
$ make HOSTCFLAGS='-I <prefix>/include' HOSTLDFLAGS='-L <prefix>/lib'
[2] Use pkg-config
'pkg-config --cflags' for querying the header search path
'pkg-config --libs' for querying the lib and its path
If we go with pkg-config, use [2] consistently. Do not mix up
[1] and [2].

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.
