From 055efab3120bae7ab1ed841317774f3c953f6e1b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Desaulniers Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2019 14:27:41 -0700 Subject: kbuild: drop support for cc-ldoption If you want to see if your linker supports a certain flag, then ask the linker directly with ld-option (not the compiler with cc-ldoption). Checking for linker flag support is an antipattern that complicates the usage of various linkers other than bfd via -fuse-ld={bfd|gold|lld}.
