By using sed, I didn't really mean using sed instead of tac, but
something close to first version of this patch [1], these are just
different ways of doing same thing.

I don't know how common "tac" is, but even a box breaks build because
off missing tac, that is problem, specially this change is not a must
but a good to have.

[1]
for config in $$(grep -v "^#" $(RTE_OUTPUT)/.config_tmp | cut -d"=" -f1
| sort | uniq -d); do \
    while [ $$(grep "^$${config}=" $(RTE_OUTPUT)/.config_tmp -c ) -gt 1
]; do \
        sed -i "0,/^$${config}=/{//d}" $(RTE_OUTPUT)/.config_tmp; \
    done; \
done; \
