How come?


If you see scripts/mkcompile_h,
KBUILD_BUILD_USER and KBUILD_BUILD_HOST are used
for overriding 'whoami' and 'hostname', respectively.

So, I think it is reasonable to put

  email=$KBUILD_BUILD_USER@...UILD_BUILD_HOST

over

  email=$(id -nu)@$(hostname -f 2>/dev/null || hostname)


But, it is questionable to put it even over $DEBEMAIL.



I think the intention of this patch is to support
another (a bit better) fallback in case DEBEMAIL is not set.
