kbuild: simplify ld-option implementation
Currently, linker options are tested by the coordination of $(CC) and $(LD) because $(LD) needs some object to link. As commit 86a9df597cdd ("kbuild: fix linker feature test macros when cross compiling with Clang") addressed, we need to make sure $(CC) and $(LD) agree the underlying architecture of the passed object. This could be a bit complex when we combine tools from different groups. For example, we can use clang for $(CC), but we still need to rely on GCC toolchain for $(LD). So, I was searching for a way of standalone testing of linker options. A trick I found is to use '-v'; this not only prints the version string, but also tests if the given option is recognized. If a given option is supported, $ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld -v --fix-cortex-a53-843419 GNU ld (Linaro_Binutils-2017.11) 2.28.2.20170706 $ echo $? 0 If unsupported, $ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld -v --fix-cortex-a53-843419 GNU ld (crosstool-NG linaro-1.13.1-4.7-2013.04-20130415 - Linaro GCC 2013.04) 2.23.1 aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: unrecognized option '--fix-cortex-a53-843419' aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: use the --help option for usage information $ echo $? 1 Gold works likewise. $ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld.gold -v --fix-cortex-a53-843419 GNU gold (Linaro_Binutils-2017.11 2.28.2.20170706) 1.14 masahiro@pug:~/ref/linux$ echo $? 0 $ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld.gold -v --fix-cortex-a53-999999 GNU gold (Linaro_Binutils-2017.11 2.28.2.20170706) 1.14 aarch64-linux-gnu-ld.gold: --fix-cortex-a53-999999: unknown option aarch64-linux-gnu-ld.gold: use the --help option for usage information $ echo $? 1 LLD too. $ ld.lld -v --gc-sections LLD 7.0.0 (http://llvm.org/git/lld.git 4a0e4190e74cea19f8a8dc625ccaebdf8b5d1585) (compatible with GNU linkers) $ echo $? 0 $ ld.lld -v --fix-cortex-a53-843419 LLD 7.0.0 (http://llvm.org/git/lld.git 4a0e4190e74cea19f8a8dc625ccaebdf8b5d1585) (compatible with GNU linkers) $ echo $? 0 $ ld.lld -v --fix-cortex-a53-999999 ld.lld: error: unknown argument: --fix-cortex-a53-999999 LLD 7.0.0 (http://llvm.org/git/lld.git 4a0e4190e74cea19f8a8dc625ccaebdf8b5d1585) (compatible with GNU linkers) $ echo $? 1 Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Tested-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com>
